pwm: Fix deadlock warning when removing PWM device

2019-06-15T09:53:05Z

[ 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: Drop per-chip dbg_show callback

2019-01-10T08:34:12Z

pwm: Don't use memcmp() to compare state variables

2019-01-10T08:32:23Z

Given that struct pwm_state is sparse (at least on some platforms), variables of this type might represent the same state because all fields are pairwise identical but still memcmp() returns a difference because some of the unused bits are different. To prevent surprises compare member by member instead of the whole occupied memory. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding

pwm: Silently error out on EPROBE_DEFER

In of_pwm_get(), if we fail to get the PWM chip due to probe deferal, we shouldn't print an error message. Just be silent in this case. Signed-off-by: Jerome Brunet Reviewed-by: Andreas Färber Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding

pwm: Try to load modules during pwm_get()

2017-01-30T08:36:42Z

Add a module name string to the pwm_lookup struct and if specified try to load the module using request_module() if pwmchip_find_by_name() is unable to find the PWM chip. This is a last resort to work around drivers that can't - and can't be made to - deal with deferred probe.

pwm: Make the PWM_POLARITY flag in DTB optional

2017-01-30T08:13:34Z

Change the PWM chip driver registration so that a chip driver that supports polarity inversion can still be used with DTBs that don't provide the polarity flag as part of the specifier. This is done to provide polarity inversion support for the pwm-imx driver without having to modify all existing DTS files.
