    TTY: n_hdlc, fix lockdep false positive · e9b736d8
    Jiri Slaby authored
    The class of 4 n_hdls buf locks is the same because a single function
    n_hdlc_buf_list_init is used to init all the locks. But since
    flush_tx_queue takes n_hdlc->tx_buf_list.spinlock and then calls
    n_hdlc_buf_put which takes n_hdlc->tx_free_buf_list.spinlock, lockdep
    emits a warning:
    =============================================
    [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
    4.3.0-25.g91e30a7-default #1 Not tainted
    ---------------------------------------------
    a.out/1248 is trying to acquire lock:
     (&(&list->spinlock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa01fd020>] n_hdlc_buf_put+0x20/0x60 [n_hdlc]
    
    but task is already holding lock:
     (&(&list->spinlock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa01fdc07>] n_hdlc_tty_ioctl+0x127/0x1d0 [n_hdlc]
    
    other info that might help us debug this:
     Possible unsafe locking scenario:
    
           CPU0
           ----
      lock(&(&list->spinlock)->rlock);
      lock(&(&list->spinlock)->rlock);
    
     *** DEADLOCK ***
    
     May be due to missing lock nesting notation
    
    2 locks held by a.out/1248:
     #0:  (&tty->ldisc_sem){++++++}, at: [<ffffffff814c9eb0>] tty_ldisc_ref_wait+0x20/0x50
     #1:  (&(&list->spinlock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa01fdc07>] n_hdlc_tty_ioctl+0x127/0x1d0 [n_hdlc]
    ...
    Call Trace:
    ...
     [<ffffffff81738fd0>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x50/0x70
     [<ffffffffa01fd020>] n_hdlc_buf_put+0x20/0x60 [n_hdlc]
     [<ffffffffa01fdc24>] n_hdlc_tty_ioctl+0x144/0x1d0 [n_hdlc]
     [<ffffffff814c25c1>] tty_ioctl+0x3f1/0xe40
    ...
    
    Fix it by initializing the spin_locks separately. This removes also
    reduntand memset of a freshly kzallocated space.
