platform/mellanox: fix potential deadlock in the tmfifo driver
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit fixes the potential deadlock caused by the console Rx
and Tx processing at the same time. Rx and Tx both take the console
and tmfifo spinlock but in different order which causes potential
deadlock. The fix is to use different tmfifo spinlock for Rx and
Tx since they protect different resources and it's safe to split
the lock.

Below is the reported call trace when copying/pasting large string
in the console.

Rx:
    _raw_spin_lock_irqsave (hvc lock)
    __hvc_poll
    hvc_poll
    in_intr
    vring_interrupt
    mlxbf_tmfifo_rxtx_one_desc (tmfifo lock)
    mlxbf_tmfifo_rxtx
    mlxbf_tmfifo_work_rxtx
Tx:
    _raw_spin_lock_irqsave (tmfifo lock)
    mlxbf_tmfifo_virtio_notify
    virtqueue_notify
    virtqueue_kick
    put_chars
    hvc_push
    hvc_write (hvc lock)
    ...
    do_tty_write
    tty_write
