[PATCH] x86: iosf_mbi: Rewrite locking

From: Hans de Goede
Date: Mon Aug 12 2019 - 06:21:20 EST


There are 2 problems with the old iosf PMIC I2C bus arbritration code which
this commit fixes:

1. The lockdep code complains about a possible deadlock in the
iosf_mbi_[un]block_punit_i2c_access code:

*** DEADLOCK ***

In practice can never happen because only the first caller which
increments iosf_mbi_block_punit_i2c_access_count will also take
iosf_mbi_punit_mutex, that is the whole purpose of the counter, which
itself is protected by iosf_mbi_block_punit_i2c_access_count_mutex.

But there is no way to tell the lockdep code about this and we really
want to be able to run a kernel with lockdep enabled without these
warnings being triggered.

2. The lockdep warning also points out another real problem, if 2 threads
both are in a block of code protected by iosf_mbi_block_punit_i2c_access
and the first thread to acquire the block exits before the second thread
then the second thread will call mutex_unlock on iosf_mbi_punit_mutex,
but it is not the thread which took the mutex and unlocking by another
thread is not allowed.

This commit fixes this by getting rid of the notion of holding a mutex
for the entire duration of the PMIC accesses, be it either from the
PUnit side, or from an in kernel I2C driver. In general holding a mutex
after exiting a function is a bad idea and the above problems show this
case is no different.

Instead 2 counters are now used, one for PMIC accesses from the PUnit
and one for accesses from in kernel I2C code. When access is requested
now the code will wait (using a waitqueue) for the counter of the other
type of access to reach 0 and on release, if the counter reaches 0 the
wakequeue is woken.

Note that the counter approach is necessary to allow nested calls.
The main reason for this is so that a series of i2c transfers can be done
with the punit blocked from accessing the bus the whole time. This is
necessary to be able to safely read/modify/write a PMIC register without
racing with the PUNIT doing the same thing.

Allowing nested iosf_mbi_block_punit_i2c_access() calls also is desirable
from a performance pov since the whole dance necessary to block the PUnit
from accessing the PMIC I2C bus is somewhat expensive.
