[PATCH v2] coresight: configfs: Fix unload of configurations on module exit

Hi Suzuki,
I found something similar when I was testing v4 of the configfs load
set with lockdep enabled. (Mathieu reviewed v3 of this a little while
ago).
Firstly, some of this goes away if you update configfs to enhance the
lockdep nest lock depth mapping on the (&p->frag_sem) nested locking
elements in a similar way to which other nested semaphores in configfs
have. (I have a patch - see below).
I initially noted issues related to the new 'load' & 'unload' files in
my case, but the underlying issue can occur for any configfs file that
calls back into the main configuration handling call and locks the
main cscfg_mutex, which protects the lists of configuration and
feature data.
In the v4 set I redesigned the locking code so that the cscfg_mutex is
never held while calling configfs calls that manipulate the file
system (register / unregister subsystem, register / unregister group)
are called.
I was intending to retest all this on 5.19-rc2 when I hit the boot
issue we discussed earlier. I was also going to test if the configfs
lockdep patch was strictly necessary after the re-design.
So we have a choice here:
a) absorb this small fix patch into the larger v4 configfs load set -
and fix everything as part of that update.
b) move some of the locking re-design into the fix patchset, and
submit separately and before the v4 configfs load set.
Which do you prefer?
Regards
Mike
