Hi, Mark I resend the patch and add recipient Vinod as your comment. Thank you. I'd like to send a patch to fix a problem using soc-compress with DPCM. soc_compr_open_fe() and soc_compr_free_fe() call snd_soc_runtime_activate() and snd_soc_runtime_deactivate() but don't lock card->pcm_mutex. It can cause lockdep error, because snd_soc_runtime_activate/deactivate() checks whether pcm_mutex is held using lockdep_assert_held(). I'd like to send a patch which adds mutex_lock/unlock() before and after of the snd_soc_runtime_activate/deactivate() call. If there is anything should be changed in my patch or email, please let me know it. I'll really appreciate it.
