    spi: core: Fix deadlock when sending messages · 49023d2e
    Jon Hunter authored
    The function __spi_pump_messages() is called by spi_pump_messages() and
    __spi_sync(). The function __spi_sync() has an argument 'bus_locked'
    that indicates if it is called with the SPI bus mutex held or not. If
    'bus_locked' is false then __spi_sync() will acquire the mutex itself.
    
    Commit 556351f1 ("spi: introduce accelerated read support for spi
    flash devices") made a change to acquire the SPI bus mutex within
    __spi_pump_messages(). However, this change did not check to see if the
    mutex is already held. If __spi_sync() is called with the mutex held
    (ie. 'bus_locked' is true), then a deadlock occurs when
    __spi_pump_messages() is called.
    
    Fix this deadlock by passing the 'bus_locked' state from __spi_sync() to
    __spi_pump_messages() and only acquire the mutex if not already held. In
    the case where __spi_pump_messages() is called from spi_pump_messages()
    it is assumed that the mutex is not held and so call
    __spi_pump_messages() with 'bus_locked' set to false. Finally, move the
    unlocking of the mutex to the end of the __spi_pump_messages() function
    to simplify the code and only call cond_resched() if there are no
    errors.
