[ Upstream commit 2efe41234dbd0a83fdb7cd38226c2f70039a2cd3 ]
syzbot reported the following ABBA deadlock:
CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- n_vclocks_store() lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux) [1] (physical clock) pc_clock_adjtime() lock(&clk->rwsem) [2] (physical clock) ... ptp_clock_freerun() ptp_vclock_in_use() lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux) [3] (physical clock) ptp_clock_unregister() posix_clock_unregister() lock(&clk->rwsem) [4] (virtual clock)
Since ptp virtual clock is registered only under ptp physical clock, both ptp_clock and posix_clock must be physical clocks for ptp_vclock_in_use() to lock &ptp->n_vclocks_mux and check ptp->n_vclocks.
However, when unregistering vclocks in n_vclocks_store(), the locking ptp->n_vclocks_mux is a physical clock lock, but clk->rwsem of ptp_clock_unregister() called through device_for_each_child_reverse() is a virtual clock lock.
Therefore, clk->rwsem used in CPU0 and clk->rwsem used in CPU1 are different locks, but in lockdep, a false positive occurs because the possibility of deadlock is determined through lock-class.
To solve this, lock subclass annotation must be added to the posix_clock rwsem of the vclock.
