From c2c7824b0bc6e42a4e702bc0b3dd61915e90b29f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Guilherme G. Piccoli" Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2022 19:49:03 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] coresight: cpu-debug: Replace mutex with mutex_trylock on panic notifier [ Upstream commit 1adff542d67a2ed1120955cb219bfff8a9c53f59 ] The panic notifier infrastructure executes registered callbacks when a panic event happens - such callbacks are executed in atomic context, with interrupts and preemption disabled in the running CPU and all other CPUs disabled. That said, mutexes in such context are not a good idea. This patch replaces a regular mutex with a mutex_trylock safer approach; given the nature of the mutex used in the driver, it should be pretty uncommon being unable to acquire such mutex in the panic path, hence no functional change should be observed (and if it is, that would be likely a deadlock with the regular mutex).
