From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 174974d8463b77c2b4065e98513adb204e64de7d ] If the previous thing cat'ing $debugfs/rd left the FIFO full, then subsequent open could deadlock in rd_write() (because open is blocked, not giving a chance for read() to consume any data in the FIFO). Also it is generally a good idea to clear out old data from the FIFO.
