      W1: split master mutex to avoid deadlocks. · b02f8bed
      NeilBrown 提交于
      The 'mutex' in struct w1_master is use for two very different
      purposes.
      
      Firstly it protects various data structures such as the list of all
      slaves.
      
      Secondly it protects the w1 buss against concurrent accesses.
      
      This can lead to deadlocks when the ->probe code called while adding a
      slave needs to talk on the bus, as is the case for power_supply
      devices.
      ds2780 and ds2781 drivers contain a work around to track which
      process hold the lock simply to avoid this deadlock.  bq27000 doesn't
      have that work around and so deadlocks.
      
      There are other possible deadlocks involving sysfs.
      When removing a device the sysfs s_active lock is held, so the lock
      that protects the slave list must take precedence over s_active.
      However when access power_supply attributes via sysfs, the s_active
      lock must take precedence over the lock that protects accesses to
      the bus.
      
      So to avoid deadlocks between w1 slaves and sysfs, these must be
      two separate locks.  Making them separate means that the work around
      in ds2780 and ds2781 can be removed.
      
      So this patch:
       - adds a new mutex: "bus_mutex" which serialises access to the bus.
       - takes in mutex in w1_search and ds1wm_search while they access
         the bus for searching.  The mutex is dropped before calling the
         callback which adds the slave.
       - changes all slaves to use bus_mutex instead of mutex to
         protect access to the bus
       - removes w1_ds2790_io_nolock and w1_ds2781_io_nolock, and the
         related code from drivers/power/ds278[01]_battery.c which
         calls them.
