The following circular locking dependency was reported when running cpus online/offline test on an arm64 system. [ 84.195923] Chain exists of: dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock --> cpu_hotplug_lock --> cpuhp_state-down [ 84.207305] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [ 84.213212] CPU0 CPU1 [ 84.217729] ---- ---- [ 84.222247] lock(cpuhp_state-down); [ 84.225899] lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); [ 84.232068] lock(cpuhp_state-down); [ 84.238237] lock(dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock); [ 84.242236] *** DEADLOCK *** The following locking order happens when dmc620_pmu_get_irq() calls cpuhp_state_add_instance_nocalls(). lock(dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock) --> lock(cpu_hotplug_lock) On the other hand, the calling sequence cpuhp_thread_fun() => cpuhp_invoke_callback() => dmc620_pmu_cpu_teardown() leads to the locking sequence lock(cpuhp_state-down) => lock(dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock) Here dmc620_pmu_irqs_lock protects both the dmc620_pmu_irqs and the pmus_node lists in various dmc620_pmu instances. dmc620_pmu_get_irq() requires protected access to dmc620_pmu_irqs whereas dmc620_pmu_cpu_teardown() needs protection to the pmus_node lists. Break this circular locking dependency by using two separate locks to protect dmc620_pmu_irqs list and the pmus_node lists respectively. Suggested-by:
