SB16 CSP driver may hit potentially a typical ABBA deadlock in two code paths: In snd_sb_csp_stop(): spin_lock_irqsave(&p->chip->mixer_lock, flags); spin_lock(&p->chip->reg_lock); In snd_sb_csp_load(): spin_lock_irqsave(&p->chip->reg_lock, flags); spin_lock(&p->chip->mixer_lock); Also the similar pattern is seen in snd_sb_csp_start(). Although the practical impact is very small (those states aren't triggered in the same running state and this happens only on a real hardware, decades old ISA sound boards -- which must be very difficult to find nowadays), it's a real scenario and has to be fixed. This patch addresses those deadlocks by splitting the locks in snd_sb_csp_start() and snd_sb_csp_stop() for avoiding the nested locks.
