I just hit this..


[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.3.0-rc6+ #5 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
pulseaudio/1306 is trying to acquire lock:
(&(&substream->self_group.lock)->rlock/1){......}, at: [<ffffffffa0468c0b>] snd_pcm_action_group+0x9b/0x260 [snd_pcm]

but task is already holding lock:
(&(&substream->self_group.lock)->rlock/1){......}, at: [<ffffffffa0468c0b>] snd_pcm_action_group+0x9b/0x260 [snd_pcm]

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0
----
lock(&(&substream->self_group.lock)->rlock/1);
lock(&(&substream->self_group.lock)->rlock/1);

*** DEADLOCK ***

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

4 locks held by pulseaudio/1306:
#0: (snd_pcm_link_rwlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa046ab90>] snd_pcm_drop+0x60/0x100 [snd_pcm]
#1: (&(&substream->self_group.lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa046ab98>] snd_pcm_drop+0x68/0x100 [snd_pcm]
#2: (&(&substream->group->lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffffa0469ffe>] snd_pcm_action+0x3e/0xb0 [snd_pcm]
#3: (&(&substream->self_group.lock)->rlock/1){......}, at: [<ffffffffa0468c0b>] snd_pcm_action_group+0x9b/0x260 [snd_pcm]

I suspect this ..

static int snd_pcm_action(struct action_ops *ops,
struct snd_pcm_substream *substream,
int state)
{
int res;

if (snd_pcm_stream_linked(substream)) {
--> if (!spin_trylock(&substream->group->lock)) {
spin_unlock(&substream->self_group.lock);
spin_lock(&substream->group->lock);
spin_lock(&substream->self_group.lock);
}
res = snd_pcm_action_group(ops, substream, state, 1);
spin_unlock(&substream->group->lock);
} else {
res = snd_pcm_action_single(ops, substream, state);
}
return res;
}

Should that trylock be on self_group.lock ?
