Hi Ishimatsu-san: By the way, if you want to reproduce this problem, just modify my patch1 to call __container_notify_cb() directly in container_notify_cb(). And apply my patch2. Then, you add a container, and remove it. The deadlock will be triggered. And this patch is based on Lu Yinghai's tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git for-pci-split-pci-root-hp-2 On 10/24/2012 02:54 PM, Yasuaki Ishimatsu wrote: > Hi Tang, > > 2012/10/24 15:05, Tang Chen wrote: >> As the comments in __acpi_os_execute() said: >> >> We can't run hotplug code in keventd_wq/kacpid_wq/kacpid_notify_wq >> because the hotplug code may call driver .remove() functions, >> which invoke flush_scheduled_work/acpi_os_wait_events_complete >> to flush these workqueues. >> >> we should keep the hotplug code in kacpi_hotplug_wq. >> >> But we have the following call series in kernel now: >> acpi_ev_queue_notify_request() >> |--> acpi_os_execute() >> |--> __acpi_os_execute(type, function, context, 0) >> >> The last parameter 0 makes the container_notify_cb() executed in >> kacpi_notify_wq or kacpid_wq.
