Description Rafael J. Wysocki 2009-01-10 17:02:11 UTC
Subject    : possible circular locking dependency on i915 dma
Submitter  : Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com>

This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.28.  Please don't
close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
Comment 1 James Ettle 2009-01-30 01:35:07 UTC
Hello, I see something similar when I run GL apps except in my traces I have i915_gem_execbuffer instead of i915_cmdbuffer --- is this the same issue?

I'm seeing this on my EeePC 900 with 2.6.29rc5. It's highly reproducible:

Comment 10 Eric Anholt 2009-03-11 12:37:18 UTC
untested patch in my for-review branch:

commit 891d7ad89882bd81377f09b6dd5823686cc6ba07
Author: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>
Date:   Wed Mar 11 12:30:04 2009 -0700

    drm/i915: Fix lock order reversal with cliprects and cmdbuf in non-GEM paths.
    
    This introduces allocation in the batch submission path that wasn't there
    previously, but this is a compatibility path so we care about simplicity
    more than performance.
    
    kernel.org bug #12419.

Comment 11 Sitsofe Wheeler 2009-03-14 07:43:09 UTC
Testing the for-review tree (2.6.29-rc7-00158-gbe68829) on http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm-intel.git;a=summary results in GL not working at all and messages like the following appearing in dmesg on my i915:

[  406.861101] [drm:drm_wait_vblank] *ERROR* failed to acquire vblank counter, -22
[  406.863975] [drm:i915_cmdbuffer] *ERROR* i915_dispatch_cmdbuffer failed

Comment 13 Eric Anholt 2009-03-16 15:22:18 UTC
Thanks for the report.  I think this was the bug:

-	ret = i915_dispatch_cmdbuffer(dev, cmdbuf, cliprects, data);
+	ret = i915_dispatch_cmdbuffer(dev, cmdbuf, cliprects, batch_data);

but I still haven't actually tested that path yet (been trying to get the GEM paths solid).  New for-review pushed.
Comment 14 Sitsofe Wheeler 2009-03-17 08:01:53 UTC
OK if this latest fix went into for-review (it was kind of hard to tell because the dates are unchanged but the commit id has) then the problem has been resolved (only the classic [drm:drm_wait_vblank] *ERROR* failed to acquire vblank counter, -22 seems to be logged).

I don't find the code which have "ret = i915_dispatch_cmdbuffer(dev, cmdbuf, cliprects," for check it out, this is for libdrm, for kernel or for drive ?

but task is already holding lock:
 (&dev->struct_mutex){--..}, at: [<f8353b97>] i915_gem_execbuffer+0x105/0xad7 [i915]

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
