We pass the dev_pm_opp structure to OPP notifiers but the users of the notifier need to surround calls to dev_pm_opp_get_*() with RCU read locks to avoid lockdep warnings. The notifier is already called with the dev_opp's srcu lock held, so it should be safe to assume the devm_pm_opp structure is already protected inside the notifier. Update the lockdep check for this. Cc: Krzysztof Kozlowski <redacted> Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <redacted> --- This is probably wrong, but it's what I had to hack up to be able to use the OPP functions from within the notifier to figure out the new values of the OPP without having to take an RCU read lock. drivers/base/power/opp.c | 19 +++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)diff --git a/drivers/base/power/opp.c b/drivers/base/power/opp.c index b997a7eabcd4..6d75022c6a0e 100644 --- a/drivers/base/power/opp.c +++ b/drivers/base/power/opp.c@@ -108,9 +108,10 @@ static LIST_HEAD(dev_opp_list); /* Lock to allow exclusive modification to the device and opp lists */ static DEFINE_MUTEX(dev_opp_list_lock); -#define opp_rcu_lockdep_assert() \ +#define opp_rcu_lockdep_assert(s) \ do { \ rcu_lockdep_assert(rcu_read_lock_held() || \ + (s && srcu_read_lock_held(s)) || \ lockdep_is_held(&dev_opp_list_lock), \ "Missing rcu_read_lock() or " \ "dev_opp_list_lock protection"); \@@ -169,9 +170,10 @@ unsigned long dev_pm_opp_get_voltage(struct dev_pm_opp *opp) struct dev_pm_opp *tmp_opp; unsigned long v = 0; - opp_rcu_lockdep_assert(); + opp_rcu_lockdep_assert(&opp->dev_opp->srcu_head.srcu); - tmp_opp = rcu_dereference(opp); + tmp_opp = srcu_dereference_check(opp, &opp->dev_opp->srcu_head.srcu, + rcu_read_lock_held());
It looks strange. The notifier's SRCU is part of device_opp but here we want to protect the dev_pm_opp. Because of this difference I am not sure that it is safe having around this a srcu_read_lock() from notifiers instead of rcu_read_lock(). Best regards, Krzysztof
