[PATCH] drm/nouveau/flcn/msgq: fix potential deadlock on &msgq->lock

From: Chengfeng Ye
Date: Wed Sep 27 2023 - 12:55:35 EST


As &msgq->lock is acquired under both irq context from
gp102_sec2_intr() and softirq context from gm20b_pmu_recv(),
thus irq should be disabled while acquiring that lock, otherwise
there would be potential deadlock.

gm20b_pmu_recv()
--> nvkm_falcon_msgq_recv()
--> nvkm_falcon_msgq_open()
--> spin_lock(&msgq->lock)
<interrupt>
--> gp102_sec2_intr()
--> nvkm_falcon_msgq_recv()
--> nvkm_falcon_msgq_open()
--> spin_lock(&msgq->lock)

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

To prevent the potential problem, I change to spin_lock_irq() and
spin_unlock_irq() on the lock.
