gpu: nvgpu: fix deadlock on railgate_lock during race condition
We have below race condition during __gk20a_do_idle() and force_reset case : - before execution of __gk20a_do_idle(), a process drops the last usage count of GPU, which triggers GPU railgate process - but before GPU is really railgated (there is 500 mS delay), some process calls __gk20a_do_idle() - in __gk20a_do_idle(), we first take railgate_lock - then we check if GPU is already railgated or not - since it is not railgated yet (due to 500 mS delay), this returns false - then we call pm_runtime_get_noresume() which just increases the usage counter - in this particular case, this call just increases usage count to 1 from 0, but whereas GPU is already on its way to railgate - while we check if GPU usage count drops to one, GPU gets railgated - now if we have force_reset=true case, we will end up calling pm_runtime_get_sync() which will take railgate_lock lock _again_ and try to unrailgate GPU - this causes a deadlock on railgate_lock To fix this, use below sequence : - take railgate_lock - check if GPU is already railgated - release railgate_lock - call pm_runtime_get_sync() which will keep GPU active even if railgating is already triggered - take railgate_lock again to prevent unrailgate in futher process Also, add more descriptive comments to explain the flow Bug 1624537 Change-Id: I0febc65d7bfac03ee738be200cf321322ffbe5a6 Signed-off-by: Deepak Nibade <dnibade@nvidia.com> Reviewed-on: http://git-master/r/719625 (cherry picked from commit 480284eda16e2b50ee6368bad3d15574e098b231) Reviewed-on: http://git-master/r/719620 Reviewed-by: Sachin Nikam <snikam@nvidia.com>
