[PATCH 1/3] net: ethernet: ti: cpdma: fix lockup in cpdma_ctlr_destroy()

From: Grygorii Strashko
Date: Fri Jul 22 2016 - 09:59:51 EST


Fix deadlock in cpdma_ctlr_destroy() which is triggered now on
cpsw module removal:
cpsw_remove()
- cpdma_ctlr_destroy()
- spin_lock_irqsave(&ctlr->lock, flags)
- cpdma_ctlr_stop()
- spin_lock_irqsave(&ctlr->lock, flags); <- deadlock
- cpdma_chan_destroy()
- spin_lock_irqsave(&ctlr->lock, flags); <- deadlock

The issue has not been observed before because CPDMA channels have
been destroyed manually by CPSW until commit d941ebe88a41 ("net:
ethernet: ti: cpsw: use destroy ctlr to destroy channels") was merged.
