[v3,0/8] device-core: Enable device_lock() lockdep validation

Message

Dan Williams April 21, 2022, 3:33 p.m. UTC

Changes since v2 [1]
- Use lockdep_set_class(), lockdep_set_class_and_subclass(), and
  lock_set_class() instead of a 'lockdep_mutex' in 'struct device'.
  (Peter and Waiman)
- Include a fix identifed by this new infrastructure

The device_lock() uses lockdep_set_novalidate_class() because it is
taken in too many contexts that cannot be described by a single mutex
lock class. The lack of lockdep coverage leads to deadlock scenarios
landing upstream. To mitigate that problem the lockdep_mutex was added
[2].

The lockdep_mutex, however, is an unscalable hack that overlooks
advancements in the lockdep API to change a given lock's lock class [3].
With lockdep_set_class() a device subsystem can initialize a dedicated
lock class per device type at device creation time, with
lock_set_class() a device-driver can temporarily override a lockdep
class after-the-fact. Use lockdep class assignment APIs to replace the
usage of lockdep_mutex in the CXL and NVDIMM subsystems, and delete
lockdep_mutex.
