When I was writing an atomic wrapper for rmfb, I ran into the
following backtrace from lockdep:
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
4.5.0-patser+ #4696 Tainted: G U
---------------------------------------------
kworker/2:2/2608 is trying to acquire lock:
(crtc_ww_class_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<
ffffffffc00c9ddc>] drm_modeset_lock+0x7c/0x120 [drm]
but task is already holding lock:
(crtc_ww_class_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<
ffffffffc00c98cd>] modeset_backoff+0x8d/0x220 [drm]
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0
----
lock(crtc_ww_class_mutex);
lock(crtc_ww_class_mutex);
*** DEADLOCK ***
May be due to missing lock nesting notation
4 locks held by kworker/2:2/2608:
#0: ("events"){.+.+.+}, at: [<
ffffffff810a5eea>] process_one_work+0x15a/0x6c0
#1: ((&arg.work)){+.+.+.}, at: [<
ffffffff810a5eea>] process_one_work+0x15a/0x6c0
#2: (crtc_ww_class_acquire){+.+.+.}, at: [<
ffffffffc004532a>] drm_atomic_helper_remove_fb+0x4a/0x1d0 [drm_kms_helper]
#3: (crtc_ww_class_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<
ffffffffc00c98cd>] modeset_backoff+0x8d/0x220 [drm]
While lockdep probably catches this bug when it happens, it's better
to explicitly warn when state->acquire_ctx is not set.
