In this case we would be done twice, something your > patch prevents. Have you found other scenarios? > Alex is right, by checking rproc->state outside of the lock rproc_recovery_write() allows for multiple contexts to enter rproc_trigger_recovery() at once. Further more, these multiple context will be held up at the mutex_lock_interruptible() and as each one completes the recovery the subsequent ones will stop the rproc, generate a coredump and then start it again. This patch would be to fix the latter problem and allows the next patch to move the check in the debugfs interface in under the mutex. As such I've picked up patch 1, 2 and 4.
