PATCH 1/1 gpio: mxs: Allow for recursive enable_irq_wake() call

The scenario here is that someone calls enable_irq_wake() from somewhere in the code. This will result in the lockdep producing a backtrace as can be seen below. In my case, this problem is triggered when using the wl1271 (TI WlCore) driver found in drivers/net/wireless/ti/ .

The problem cause is rather obvious from the backtrace, but let's outline the dependency. enable_irq_wake() grabs the IRQ buslock in irq_set_irq_wake(), which in turns calls mxs_gpio_set_wake_irq() . But mxs_gpio_set_wake_irq() calls enable_irq_wake() again on the one-level-higher IRQ , thus it tries to grab the IRQ buslock again in irq_set_irq_wake() . Because the spinlock in irq_set_irq_wake()->irq_get_desc_buslock()->__irq_get_desc_lock() is not marked as recursive, lockdep will spew the stuff below.

We know we can safely re-enter the lock, so use IRQ_GC_INIT_NESTED_LOCK to fix the spew.

Thanks Marek, patch applied and I also added Cc: stable.

I would like someone to look into converting the MXS to use the new gpiolib irqchip helpers merged on my devel branch so we can centralize and get rid of surplus redundant bug fixing everywhere around the drivers.

That code does not use generic irqchip, but rather a regular irqchip+domain and explicitly chained interrupt handlers.

Yours,

No. The driver uses generic irqchip. See function mxs_gpio_init_gc().

Hm I see.

Still I think it should be possible to lift some code into gpiolib also with generic chips. Must be some elegant refactoring lurking here...
