Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock A deadlock may happen since the i3c_master_register() acquires &i3cbus->lock twice. See the log below. Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_info() to avoid acquiring the lock twice. v2: - Modified the title and commit message ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 6.11.0-mainline -------------------------------------------- init/1 is trying to acquire lock: f1ffff80a6a40dc0 (&i3cbus->lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: i3c_bus_normaluse_lock but task is already holding lock: f1ffff80a6a40dc0 (&i3cbus->lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: i3c_master_register other info that might help us debug this: Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 ---- lock(&i3cbus->lock); lock(&i3cbus->lock); *** DEADLOCK *** May be due to missing lock nesting notation 2 locks held by init/1: #0: fcffff809b6798f8 (&dev->mutex){....}-{3:3}, at: __driver_attach #1: f1ffff80a6a40dc0 (&i3cbus->lock){++++}-{3:3}, at: i3c_master_register stack backtrace: CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Call trace: dump_backtrace+0xfc/0x17c show_stack+0x18/0x28 dump_stack_lvl+0x40/0xc0 dump_stack+0x18/0x24 print_deadlock_bug+0x388/0x390 __lock_acquire+0x18bc/0x32ec lock_acquire+0x134/0x2b0 down_read+0x50/0x19c i3c_bus_normaluse_lock+0x14/0x24 i3c_device_get_info+0x24/0x58 i3c_device_uevent+0x34/0xa4 dev_uevent+0x310/0x384 kobject_uevent_env+0x244/0x414 kobject_uevent+0x14/0x20 device_add+0x278/0x460 device_register+0x20/0x34 i3c_master_register_new_i3c_devs+0x78/0x154 i3c_master_register+0x6a0/0x6d4 mtk_i3c_master_probe+0x3b8/0x4d8 platform_probe+0xa0/0xe0 really_probe+0x114/0x454 __driver_probe_device+0xa0/0x15c driver_probe_device+0x3c/0x1ac __driver_attach+0xc4/0x1f0 bus_for_each_dev+0x104/0x160 driver_attach+0x24/0x34 bus_add_driver+0x14c/0x294 driver_register+0x68/0x104 __platform_driver_register+0x20/0x30 init_module+0x20/0xfe4 do_one_initcall+0x184/0x464 do_init_module+0x58/0x1ec load_module+0xefc/0x10c8 __arm64_sys_finit_module+0x238/0x33c invoke_syscall+0x58/0x10c el0_svc_common+0xa8/0xdc do_el0_svc+0x1c/0x28 el0_svc+0x50/0xac el0t_64_sync_handler+0x70/0xbc el0t_64_sync+0x1a8/0x1ac
