regulator: core: fix deadlock on regulator enable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit cb3543c upstream.

When updating the operating mode as part of regulator enable, the caller
has already locked the regulator tree and drms_uA_update() must not try
to do the same in order not to trigger a deadlock.

The lock inversion is reported by lockdep as:

  ======================================================
  WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
  6.1.0-next-20221215 #142 Not tainted
  ------------------------------------------------------
  udevd/154 is trying to acquire lock:
  ffffc11f123d7e50 (regulator_list_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: regulator_lock_dependent+0x54/0x280

  but task is already holding lock:
  ffff80000e4c36e8 (regulator_ww_class_acquire){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: regulator_enable+0x34/0x80

  which lock already depends on the new lock.

  ...

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(regulator_ww_class_acquire);
                                 lock(regulator_list_mutex);
                                 lock(regulator_ww_class_acquire);
    lock(regulator_list_mutex);

   *** DEADLOCK ***

just before probe of a Qualcomm UFS controller (occasionally) deadlocks
when enabling one of its regulators.
