Subject[BUG] e1000: possible deadlock scenario caught by lockdep
From
Date
I hit the following lockdep splat:

======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
3.2.0-rc2-test+ #14
-------------------------------------------------------
reboot/2316 is trying to acquire lock:
((&(&adapter->watchdog_task)->work)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff81069553>] wait_on_work+0x0/0xac

but task is already holding lock:
(&adapter->mutex){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff81359b1d>] __e1000_shutdown+0x56/0x1f5

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (&adapter->mutex){+.+...}:
[<ffffffff8108261a>] lock_acquire+0x103/0x158

other info that might help us debug this:

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

The issue comes from two recent commits:

commit a4010afef585b7142eb605e3a6e4210c0e1b2957
Author: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>
Date: Wed Oct 5 07:24:41 2011 +0000
e1000: convert hardware management from timers to threads

and

commit 0ef4eedc2e98edd51cd106e1f6a27178622b7e57
Author: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>
Date: Wed Oct 5 07:24:51 2011 +0000
e1000: convert to private mutex from rtnl


What we have is on __e1000_shutdown():

mutex_lock(&adapter->mutex);

if (netif_running(netdev)) {
WARN_ON(test_bit(__E1000_RESETTING, &adapter->flags));
e1000_down(adapter);
}

but e1000_down() calls: e1000_down_and_stop():

static void e1000_down_and_stop(struct e1000_adapter *adapter)
{
set_bit(__E1000_DOWN, &adapter->flags);
cancel_work_sync(&adapter->reset_task);
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&adapter->watchdog_task);
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&adapter->phy_info_task);
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&adapter->fifo_stall_task);
}


Here you see that we are calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(&adapter->watchdog_task);

The problem is that adapter->watchdog_task grabs the mutex &adapter->mutex.

If the work has started and it blocked on that mutex, the
cancel_delayed_work_sync() will block indefinitely and we have a
deadlock.

Not sure what's the best way around this. Can we call e1000_down()
without grabbing the adapter->mutex?
