Patch Review
**Verdict: Has issues that need fixing.**
This is the largest and most complex patch. It introduces `events_lock` (spinlock) to protect CSG slot access during event processing, moves fence signalling inline (removing the `sync_upd_work` and `fw_events_work` work items), and makes the fence signalling path IRQ-safe.
**Issue 1: `update_fdinfo_stats()` locking:**
```c
static void update_fdinfo_stats(struct panthor_job *job)
{
...
scoped_guard(spinlock, &group->fdinfo.lock) {
```
This uses `spinlock` (not `spinlock_irqsave`), but `update_fdinfo_stats()` is now called from `queue_check_job_completion()` -> `list_for_each_entry_safe(job, ...)` -> `update_fdinfo_stats()`. Since `queue_check_job_completion` itself can be called from `csg_slot_sync_update_locked` -> `group_check_job_completion`, which runs under `events_lock` (an irqsave spinlock), and ultimately from hard IRQ context (after patch 9), this `spinlock` guard will deadlock if `fdinfo.lock` is taken in process context and an interrupt fires. This should be `spinlock_irqsave`.
**Issue 2: Nested `dma_fence_begin_signalling`:**
```c
static void group_check_job_completion(struct panthor_group *group)
{
bool cookie;
...
cookie = dma_fence_begin_signalling();
for (queue_idx = 0; queue_idx < group->queue_count; queue_idx++) {
...
queue_check_job_completion(queue);
}
dma_fence_end_signalling(cookie);
}
```
But `queue_check_job_completion()` also calls `dma_fence_begin_signalling()` internally. This results in nested fence signalling critical sections, which will trigger lockdep annotations/warnings.
**Issue 3: Lock ordering documentation:**
The relationship between `scheduler->lock` (mutex), `events_lock` (spinlock), and `fence_ctx.lock` (spinlock) should be documented. The nesting is: `lock` -> `events_lock` -> `fence_ctx.lock`, and this ordering constraint should be explicit.
**Observation:** The conversion of `queue_suspend_timeout` and `queue_resume_timeout` to use `guard(spinlock_irqsave)` is correct and necessary since these can now be called from IRQ context via `queue_check_job_completion`.
