usb: typec: tcpm: Fix AB BA lock inversion between tcpm code and the alt-mode drivers
When we receive a PD data packet which ends up being for the alt-mode driver we have the following lock order: 1. tcpm_pd_rx_handler take the tcpm-port lock 2. We call into the alt-mode driver which takes the alt-mode's lock And when the alt-mode driver initiates communication we have the following lock order: 3. alt-mode driver takes the alt-mode's lock 4. alt-mode driver calls tcpm_altmode_enter which takes the tcpm-port lock This is a classic AB BA lock inversion issue. With the refactoring of tcpm_handle_vdm_request() done before this patch, we don't rely on, or need to make changes to the tcpm-port data by the time we make call 2. from above. All data to be passed to the alt-mode driver sits on our stack at this point, and thus does not need locking. So after the refactoring we can simply fix this by releasing the tcpm-port lock before calling into the alt-mode driver. This fixes the following lockdep warning: [ 191.454238] ====================================================== [ 191.454240] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [ 191.454244] 5.8.0-rc5+ #1 Not tainted [ 191.454246] ------------------------------------------------------ [ 191.454248] kworker/u8:5/794 is trying to acquire lock: [ 191.454251] ffff9bac8e30d4a8 (&dp->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: dp_altmode_vdm+0x30/0xf0 [typec_displayport] [ 191.454263] but task is already holding lock: [ 191.454264] ffff9bac9dc240a0 (&port->lock#2){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: tcpm_pd_rx_handler+0x43/0x12c0 [tcpm] [ 191.454273] which lock already depends on the new lock.
