[PATCH kernel] powerpc/iommu: Annotate nested lock for lockdep

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy <hidden>
Date: 2021-02-16 03:29:21
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The IOMMU table is divided into pools for concurrent mappings and each
pool has a separate spinlock. When taking the ownership of an IOMMU group
to pass through a device to a VM, we lock these spinlocks which triggers
a false negative warning in lockdep (below).

This fixes it by annotating the large pool's spinlock as a nest lock.

WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.11.0-le_syzkaller_a+fstn1 #100 Not tainted
--------------------------------------------
qemu-system-ppc/4129 is trying to acquire lock:
c0000000119bddb0 (&(p->lock)/1){....}-{2:2}, at: iommu_take_ownership+0xac/0x1e0

but task is already holding lock:
c0000000119bdd30 (&(p->lock)/1){....}-{2:2}, at: iommu_take_ownership+0xac/0x1e0

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

  lock(&(p->lock)/1);
  lock(&(p->lock)/1);
