There is a lock order issue in acpi_load_tables(). The namespace lock
is held before holding the interpreter lock.
With ACPI_MUTEX_DEBUG enabled in the kernel, this is printed to the
log during boot:
[ 0.885699] ACPI Error: Invalid acquire order: Thread 405884224 owns [ACPI_MTX_Namespace], wants [ACPI_MTX_Interpreter] (20160422/utmutex-263)
[ 0.885881] ACPI Error: Could not acquire AML Interpreter mutex (20160422/exutils-95)

[ 0.894019] ACPI Error: Could not release AML Interpreter mutex (20160422/exutils-133)
The issue has been introduced by the following commit:
Commit: 2f38b1b16d
ACPICA Commit: bfe03ffcde8ed56a7eae38ea0b188aeb12f9c52e
Subject: ACPICA: Namespace: Fix a regression that MLC support triggers
dead lock in dynamic table loading
Which fixed a deadlock issue for acpi_ns_load_table() in
acpi_ex_add_table() but didn't take care of the lock order in
acpi_ns_load_table() correctly.
Originally (before the above commit), ACPICA used the
namespace/interpreter locks in the following 2 key code
paths:
1. Table loading:
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Namespace)
acpi_ns_parse_table
acpi_ns_one_complete_parse
U(Namespace)
2. Object evaluation:
acpi_ns_evaluate
L(Interpreter)
acpi_ps_execute_method
U(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
acpi_ev_initialize_region
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
address_space.setup
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
address_space.handler
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
acpi_os_wait_semaphore
acpi_os_acquire_mutex
acpi_os_sleep
L(Interpreter)
U(Interpreter)
During runtime, while acpi_ns_evaluate is called, the lock order is
always Interpreter -> Namespace.
In turn, the problematic commit acquires the locks in the following
order:
3. Table loading:
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Namespace)
acpi_ns_parse_table
L(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_one_complete_parse
U(Interpreter)
U(Namespace)
To fix the lock order issue, move the interpreter lock to
acpi_ns_load_table() to ensure the lock order correctness:
4. Table loading:
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Interpreter)
L(Namespace)
acpi_ns_parse_table
acpi_ns_one_complete_parse
U(Namespace)
U(Interpreter)
However, this doesn't fix the current design issues related to the
namespace lock. For example, we can notice that in acpi_ns_evaluate(),
outside of acpi_ns_load_table(), the namespace objects may be created
by the named object creation control methods. And the creation of
the method-owned namespace objects are not locked by the namespace
lock. This patch doesn't try to fix such kind of existing issues.

ACPICA commit 071eff738c59eda1792ac24b3b688b61691d7e7c
Execute any module-level code after each ACPI table (DSDT or SSDT)
is loaded into the namespace (rather than after all AML tables have
been loaded). This matches the behavior of other ACPI
implementations and is required to support BIOS code that
depends on this behavior.

If a table load fails, delete all namespace objects created by the
table, otherwise these objects will be uninitialized, causing
problems later. This appears to be a very rare problem.
Also handle the unitialized node problem to prevent possible
faults. ACPICA BZ 1185.

This change adds support to automatically mark a control method as
"serialized" if the method creates any named objects. This will
positively prevent the method from being entered by more than one
thread and thus preventing a possible abort when an attempt is
made to create an object twice.
Implemented by parsing all non-serialize control methods at table
load time.
This feature is disabled by default and this patch also adds a new
Linux kernel parameter "acpi_auto_serialize" to allow this feature
to be turned on for a specific boot.
