Sorry to be blunt, but the only problem is that you've introduced an
idealistic new locking scheme which failed to take into account how
things currently actually work, and is broken and achieving nothing but
causing problems.
The solution is to drop those locking patches entirely and rethink the
whole thing. When their sole purpose was to improve the locking and make
it easier to reason about, and now the latest "fix" is now to remove one
of the assertions which forms the fundamental basis for that reasoning,
then the point has clearly been lost. All we've done is churned a dodgy
and incomplete locking scheme into a *different* dodgy and incomplete
locking scheme. I do not think that continuing to dig in deeper is the
way out of the hole...
It's now rc7, and I have little confidence that aren't still more latent
problems which just haven't been hit yet (e.g. acpi_dma_configure() is
also called in different contexts relative to the device lock, which is
absolutely by design and not broken).
And on the subject of idealism, the fact is that doing IOMMU
configuration based on driver probe via bus->dma_configure is
*fundamentally wrong* and breaking a bunch of other IOMMU API
assumptions, so it is not a robust foundation to build anything upon in
the first place. The problem it causes with broken groups has been known
about for several years now, however it's needed a lot of work to get to
the point of being able to fix it properly (FWIW that is now #2 on my
priority list after getting the bus ops stuff done, which should also
make it easier).
Thanks,
Robin.
