Commit 157ae5ffd76a dmaengine: mediatek: Fix a possible deadlock error
in mtk_cqdma_tx_status() fixed locks but kept unused varibale leading to
warning and build failure (due to warning treated as errors)

drivers/dma/mediatek/mtk-cqdma.c: In function 'mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc':

  423 |         unsigned long flags;

<id>157ae5ffd76a2857ccb4b7ce40bc5a344ca00395</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix a potential deadlock bug. Observe that in the mtk-cqdma.c
file, functions like mtk_cqdma_issue_pending() and
mtk_cqdma_free_active_desc() properly acquire the pc lock before the vc
lock when handling pc and vc fields. However, mtk_cqdma_tx_status()
violates this order by first acquiring the vc lock before invoking
mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc(), which subsequently takes the pc lock. This
reversed locking sequence (vc → pc) contradicts the established
pc → vc order and creates deadlock risks.

Fix the issue by moving the vc lock acquisition code from
mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc() to mtk_cqdma_tx_status(). Ensure the pc lock
is acquired before the vc lock in the calling function to maintain correct
locking hierarchy. Note that since mtk_cqdma_find_active_desc() is a
static function with only one caller (mtk_cqdma_tx_status()), this
modification safely eliminates the deadlock possibility without affecting
other components.

This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool
developed by our team. This tool analyzes the locking APIs to extract
function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then analyzes the
instructions in the paired functions to identify possible concurrency bugs
including deadlocks, data races and atomicity violations.

<title>dmaengine: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()</title>

<content type='text'>
After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/dma after the previous
conversion commits apart from the wireless drivers to use .remove(),
with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As
.remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done
by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

<id>01f1ae2733e2bb4de92fefcea5fda847d92aede1</id>
<content type='text'>
The synchronize_irq(c-&gt;irq) will not return until the IRQ handler
mtk_uart_apdma_irq_handler() is completed. If the synchronize_irq()
holds a spin_lock and waits the IRQ handler to complete, but the
IRQ handler also needs the same spin_lock. The deadlock will happen.
The process is shown below:

          cpu0                        cpu1
mtk_uart_apdma_device_pause() | mtk_uart_apdma_irq_handler()
  spin_lock_irqsave()         |
                              |   spin_lock_irqsave()
  //hold the lock to wait     |
  synchronize_irq()           |

This patch reorders the synchronize_irq(c-&gt;irq) outside the spin_lock
in order to mitigate the bug.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.
