As &wdt->lock is acquired by hard irq s3c2410wdt_irq(), other
acquisition of the same lock under process context should
disable irq, otherwise deadlock could happen if the irq preempt
the execution while the lock is held in process context on the
same CPU.

[Deadlock Scenario]
s3c2410wdt_suspend()
    -> s3c2410wdt_stop()
    -> spin_lock(&wdt->lock)
        <irq iterrupt>
        -> s3c2410wdt_irq()
        -> s3c2410wdt_keepalive()
        -> spin_lock(&wdt->lock) (deadlock here)

[Deadlock Scenario]
s3c2410wdt_probe()
    -> s3c2410wdt_start()
    -> spin_lock(&wdt->lock)
        <irq iterrupt>
        -> s3c2410wdt_irq()
        -> s3c2410wdt_keepalive()
        -> spin_lock(&wdt->lock) (deadlock here)

This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am
developing for irq-related deadlock, which reported the above
warning when analyzing the linux kernel 6.4-rc7 release.

The tentative patch fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irqsave()
under process context.

Why you didn't update also s3c2410wdt_keepalive()?

Best regards,

Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks for the reminder!

I didn't notice that s3c2410wdt_keepalive() can also be called from
.ping callback. Would send a v3 patch soon.

Best Regards,
Chengfeng
