Don't hold sdw_dev_lock while calling the peripheral driver

Holding sdw_dev_lock around the probe() and remove() calls
causes a theoretical mutex inversion which lockdep will
assert on. The peripheral driver probe will probably register
a soundcard, which will take ALSA and ASoC locks. During

It's extremely unlikely that a peripheral driver would register a sound
card, this is what machine drivers do.

Which leads me to the question: is this a real problem?


Yes, try turning on lockdep checking and you will get an assert.
During probe the existing code takes sdw_dev_lock and then calls the
codec driver probe, so you will get a mutex sequence like:

sdw_dev_lock -> controls_rw_sem -> pcm_mutex

but in normal operation the ALSA/ASoC code will take its mutexes first
and call runtime_resume which then takes the sdw_dev_lock, so you get

pcm_mutex -> sdw_dev_lock

and lockdep will assert on that opposite ordering.
The full assert is at the end of this email.

Or did you mean 'register components', and if yes what would the problem
with lockdep be?


Argh. Yes, I meant snd_soc_register_component(). I'll re-send this with
the comment fixed.

normal operation a runtime resume suspend can be triggered
while these locks are held and will then take sdw_dev_lock.

It's not necessary to hold sdw_dev_lock when calling the
probe() and remove(), it is only used to prevent the bus core
calling the driver callbacks if there isn't a driver or the
driver is removing.


If sdw_dev_lock is held while setting and clearing the
'probed' flag this is sufficient to guarantee the safety of
callback functions.

not really, the 'probed' flag was kept for convenience. what this lock
really protects is the dereferencing of ops after the driver .remove
happens.


Yes, I thought about removing it but that's a larger code change that's
not necessary for the fix. The point is that we don't need to hold the
mutex around the remove call, only around clearing 'probed' (or, if
probed was removed, NULLing the callback pointers)

The potential race of a bus event happening while probe() is
executing is the same as the existing race of the bus event
handler taking the mutex first and processing the event
before probe() can run. In both cases the event has already
happened before the driver is probed and ready to accept
callbacks.

Sorry, I wasn't able to parse the first sentence in this paragraph. what
'existing race' are you referring to?


I will re-write that. The point was that without the lock the probe()
can run in parallel with a status update. But that is already a race
with the existing code because the status update could take the
sdw_dev_lock first. So I think that this change isn't introducing any
new races.

The lockdep assert looks like this:
