From 236742de5bfd2af772004ec829518856ff12b469 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernard Blackham Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2012 20:25:04 +1000 Subject: staging: usbip: avoid deadlock in vhci_device_unlink_cleanup() Almost all of usbip assumes that the_controller->lock is acquired before vdev->priv_lock. The exception is in vhci_device_unlink_cleanup(), where locks are acquired in the reverse order. This leads to occasional deadlocks. Fixing this is a bit fiddly, as the_controller->lock can't be held when calling usb_hcd_unlink_urb_from_ep() in the middle of the list traversal. As I can't rule out concurrent callers to this function (perhaps it is safe?), the code here becomes slightly uglier - when locks are dropped in the middle so the list may have emptied itself (not even list_for_each_entry_safe is safe here).
