acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses() may use an uninitialized mutex. The error has been reported by lockdep: DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(l->magic != l). The function assumes that the video driver has been registered before being called. As explained in the comment of acpi_video_init(), the registration of the video class may be defered and thus may not take place in the init function of the module. Use completion mechanisms to make sure that acpi_video_handles_brightness_key_presses() wait for the completion of acpi_video_register() before using the mutex. Also get rid of register_count since task completion can replace it. Signed-off-by: Adrien Schildknecht <adrien+dev@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Thanks for the fix, my first instinct was that there should be an easier fix, but thinking more about it this and how this function is used in thinkpad_acpi. this is indeed the correct way to fix this: Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> Rafael, can you please add this fix to acpi-next ? Regards, Hans
