[PATCH] media: amd: isp4: fix self-deadlock in power-on error path

From: Yifei Gao

Date: Sat Jul 25 2026 - 16:37:06 EST


isp4sd_pwron_and_init() holds ops_mutex via guard(mutex) for the entire
function. On any initialization failure it jumps to the err_deinit label
and calls isp4sd_pwroff_and_deinit(), which acquires the same ops_mutex
through its own guard(mutex). Since the guard in isp4sd_pwron_and_init()
still holds the lock at err_deinit, this re-acquires a non-recursive
mutex already held by the current thread and deadlocks.

Every failure path in isp4sd_pwron_and_init() reaches this: a failed
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), a failed dev_pm_genpd_set_performance_state(),
a firmware start failure in isp4if_start(), or a response-thread creation
failure.

Move the cleanup logic into a new lockless __isp4sd_pwroff_and_deinit()
and have isp4sd_pwroff_and_deinit() call it under the lock. The
err_deinit path, which already holds ops_mutex, now calls the lockless
helper directly.

The "stream still running" check remains in the locked wrapper: it guards
external close requests, and the power-on rollback path never reaches the
STARTED state. The cleanup steps are safe on a partially initialized
device: response-thread stop is guarded per-thread, and gpu memory pools
are released through isp4if_gpu_mem_free(), which is a no-op on
unallocated pools.
