pwm: Fix deadlock warning when removing PWM device

2019-06-22T06:18:21Z

[ Upstream commit 347ab9480313737c0f1aaa08e8f2e1a791235535 ] This patch fixes deadlock warning if removing PWM device when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled. This issue can be reproceduced by the following steps on the R-Car H3 Salvator-X board if the backlight is disabled: # cd /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0 # echo 0 > export # ls device export npwm power pwm0 subsystem uevent unexport # cd device/driver # ls bind e6e31000.pwm uevent unbind # echo e6e31000.pwm > unbind [ 87.659974] ====================================================== [ 87.666149] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [ 87.672327] 5.0.0 #7 Not tainted [ 87.675549] ------------------------------------------------------ [ 87.681723] bash/2986 is trying to acquire lock: [ 87.686337] 000000005ea0e178 (kn->count#58){++++}, at: kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x50/0xa0 [ 87.694528] [ 87.694528] but task is already holding lock: [ 87.700353] 000000006313b17c (pwm_lock){+.+.}, at: pwmchip_remove+0x28/0x13c [ 87.707405] [ 87.707405] which lock already depends on the new lock.

We should just move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() where it belongs, which is right after pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children(). In that case, we do not need separate functions anymore either. We also really want to remove sysfs irrespective of whether or not the chip will be removed as a result of pwmchip_remove(). We can only assume that the driver will be gone after that, so we shouldn't leave any dangling sysfs files around. This warning disappears if we move pwmchip_sysfs_unexport() to the top of pwmchip_remove(), pwmchip_sysfs_unexport_children(). That way it is also outside of the pwm_lock section, which indeed doesn't seem to be needed. Moving the pwmchip_sysfs_export() call outside of that section also seems fine and it'd be perfectly symmetric with pwmchip_remove() again. So, this patch fixes them.

pwm: Unexport children before chip removal

2016-11-10T15:36:37Z

commit 0733424c9ba9f42242409d1ece780777272f7ea1 upstream. Exported pwm channels aren't removed before the pwmchip and are leaked. This results in invalid sysfs files. This fix removes all exported pwm channels before chip removal.

pwm: Set enable state properly on failed call to enable

2015-11-10T12:06:16Z

The pwm_enable() function didn't clear the enabled bit if a call to the driver's ->enable() callback returned an error. The result was that the state of the PWM core was wrong. Clearing the bit when enable returns an error ensures the state is properly set.

pwm: Add pwm_get_polarity() helper function

Some drivers are directly accessing the ->polarity field in pwm_device. Add a helper to retrieve the current polarity so that we can easily move this field elsewhere (required to support atomic update). Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding
