[PATCH 5.1 145/155] pwm: Fix deadlock warning when removing PWM device
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jun 13 2019 - 12:02:01 EST
[ 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

The sysfs unexport in pwmchip_remove() is completely asymmetric
to what we do in pwmchip_add_with_polarity() and commit 0733424c9ba9
("pwm: Unexport children before chip removal") is a strong indication
that this was wrong to begin with. 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.
