[PATCH 4.14 048/165] i2c/mux, locking/core: Annotate the nested rt_mutex usage

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Rosin <peda@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7b94ea50514d1a0dc94f02723b603c27bc0ea597 ]

If an i2c topology has instances of nested muxes, then a lockdep splat
is produced when when i2c_parent_lock_bus() is called. Here is an
example:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
--------------------------------------------
insmod/68159 is trying to acquire lock:
(i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux]

but task is already holding lock:
(i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux]

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0
----
lock(i2c_register_adapter#2);
lock(i2c_register_adapter#2);

*** DEADLOCK ***

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

1 lock held by insmod/68159:
#0: (i2c_register_adapter#2){+.+.}, at: i2c_parent_lock_bus+0x32/0x50 [i2c_mux]
