[PATCH v3 2/2] atm: solos-pci: Fix potential deadlock on &tx_queue_lock

From: Chengfeng Ye
Date: Thu Dec 07 2023 - 07:35:08 EST


As &card->tx_queue_lock is acquired under softirq context along the
following call chain from solos_bh(), other acquisition of the same
lock inside process context should disable at least bh to avoid double
lock.

<deadlock #2>
pclose()
--> spin_lock(&card->tx_queue_lock)
<interrupt>
--> solos_bh()
--> fpga_tx()
--> spin_lock(&card->tx_queue_lock)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock.

To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_bh()
on &card->tx_queue_lock under process context code consistently to
prevent the possible deadlock scenario.

V3: change to spin_lock_bh()
V2: add fix tag, and slipt into two patches
