Hello,
My static analysis tool reports a possible ABBA deadlock in the amdgpu driver in Linux 5.10:
amdgpu_debugfs_process_reg_op() mutex_lock(&adev->grbm_idx_mutex); --> Line 250 (Lock A) mutex_lock(&adev->pm.mutex); --> Line 259 (Lock B)
amdgpu_set_power_dpm_force_performance_level() mutex_lock(&adev->pm.mutex); --> Line 381 (Lock B) pp_dpm_force_performance_level() --> function pointer via "amdgpu_dpm_force_performance_level()" pp_dpm_en_umd_pstate() amdgpu_device_ip_set_clockgating_state() gfx_v7_0_set_clockgating_state() --> function pointer via "funcs->set_clockgating_state()" gfx_v7_0_enable_mgcg() mutex_lock(&adev->grbm_idx_mutex); --> Line 3646 (Lock A) mutex_lock(&adev->grbm_idx_mutex); --> Line 3697 (Lock A)
When amdgpu_debugfs_process_reg_op() and amdgpu_set_power_dpm_force_performance_level() are concurrently executed, the deadlock can occur.
I am not quite sure whether this possible deadlock is real and how to fix it if it is real. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks :)
