From 157ae5ffd76a2857ccb4b7ce40bc5a344ca00395 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qiu-ji Chen chenqiuji666@gmail.com Date: Thu, 8 May 2025 15:36:33 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: mediatek: Fix a possible deadlock error in mtk_cqdma_tx_status() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Fix a potential deadlock bug. Observe that in the mtk-cqdma.c file, functions like mtk_cqdma_issue_pending() and mtk_cqdma_free_active_desc() properly acquire the pc lock before the vc lock when handling pc and vc fields. However, mtk_cqdma_tx_status() violates this order by first acquiring the vc lock before invoking mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc(), which subsequently takes the pc lock. This reversed locking sequence (vc → pc) contradicts the established pc → vc order and creates deadlock risks.
Fix the issue by moving the vc lock acquisition code from mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc() to mtk_cqdma_tx_status(). Ensure the pc lock is acquired before the vc lock in the calling function to maintain correct locking hierarchy. Note that since mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc() is a static function with only one caller (mtk_cqdma_tx_status()), this modification safely eliminates the deadlock possibility without affecting other components.
This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool developed by our team. This tool analyzes the locking APIs to extract function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then analyzes the instructions in the paired functions to identify possible concurrency bugs including deadlocks, data races and atomicity violations.
