[PATCH 1/2] soundwire: bus: Prevent lockdep asserts when stream has multiple buses

From: Richard Fitzgerald
Date: Thu Jun 15 2023 - 10:13:10 EST


Give the bus_lock and msg_lock of each bus a different unique key
so that it is possible to acquire the locks of multiple buses
without lockdep asserting a possible deadlock.

Using mutex_init() to initialize a mutex gives all those mutexes
the same lock class. Lockdep checking treats it as an error to
attempt to take a mutex while already holding a mutex of the same
class. This causes a lockdep assert when sdw_acquire_bus_lock()
attempts to lock multiple buses, and when do_bank_switch() takes
multiple msg_lock.

*** DEADLOCK ***

Giving each mutex a unique key allows multiple to be held
without triggering a lockdep assert. But note that it does not
allow them to be taken in one order then a different order.
If two mutexes are taken in the order A, B then they must
always be taken in that order otherwise they could deadlock.
