I think there's more locks involved than just those two.

I don't think so - the locking in DRM is pretty sane. Let's take a
look:

vm_mmap_pgoff() takes mm->mmap_sem before calling do_mmap_pgoff().
So, this results in the following locking order:
mm->mmap_sem
dev->struct_mutex
>> -> #4 (&mm->mmap_sem){++++++}:

vt_ioctl() takes the console lock, so this results in:
console_lock
mm->mmap_sem

cpu_down() takes cpu_hotplug.lock, so here we have:
cpu_hotplug.lock
console_lock
>> -> #2 (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}:

dma_alloc_from_contiguous takes the cma_mutex, so here we end up with:
cma_mutex
cpu_hotplug.lock

Ditto - here we have:
cma_mutex
lock
where "lock" is nicely named... this is a lock inside lru_add_drain_all()
and under this lock, we call get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus().
get_online_cpus() takes cpu_hotplug.lock, so here we also have:
cma_mutex
lock
cpu_hotplug.lock

drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked takes dev->struct_mutex, so:
dev->struct_mutex
cma_mutex
So, the full locking dependency tree is this:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4
dev->struct_mutex (from #0)
mm->mmap_sem
dev->struct_mutex (from #5)
console_lock (from #4)
mm->mmap_sem
cpu_hotplug.lock (from #3)
console_lock
cma_mutex (from #2, but also from #1)
cpu_hotplug.lock
cma_mutex
Which is pretty sick - and I don't think that blaming this solely on V4L2
nor DRM is particularly fair. I believe the onus is on every author of
one of those locks involved in that chain needs to re-analyse whether
their locking is sane.
For instance, what is cma_mutex protecting? Is it protecting the CMA
bitmap?
What if we did these changes:
struct page *dma_alloc_from_contiguous(struct device *dev, int count,
unsigned int align)
{
...
mutex_lock(&cma_mutex);
...
for (;;) {
pageno = bitmap_find_next_zero_area(cma->bitmap, cma->count,
start, count, mask);
if (pageno >= cma->count)
break;
pfn = cma->base_pfn + pageno;
+ bitmap_set(cma->bitmap, pageno, count);
+ mutex_unlock(&cma_mutex);
ret = alloc_contig_range(pfn, pfn + count, MIGRATE_CMA);
+ mutex_lock(&cma_mutex);
if (ret == 0) {
- bitmap_set(cma->bitmap, pageno, count);
page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
break;
- } else if (ret != -EBUSY) {
+ }
+ bitmap_clear(cma->bitmap, pageno, count);
+ if (ret != -EBUSY) {
break;
}
...
mutex_unlock(&cma_mutex);
pr_debug("%s(): returned %p\n", __func__, page);
return page;
}
bool dma_release_from_contiguous(struct device *dev, struct page *pages,
int count)
{
...
+ free_contig_range(pfn, count);
mutex_lock(&cma_mutex);
bitmap_clear(cma->bitmap, pfn - cma->base_pfn, count);
- free_contig_range(pfn, count);
mutex_unlock(&cma_mutex);
...
}
which avoids the dependency between cma_mutex and cpu_hotplug.lock ?
