When remove the driver and executing the task occur at the same time, the following deadlock will be triggered: Chain exists of: sva_lock --> uacce_mutex --> &qm->qps_lock Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&qm->qps_lock); lock(uacce_mutex); lock(&qm->qps_lock); lock(sva_lock); And the lock 'qps_lock' is used to protect qp. Therefore, it's reasonable cycle is to continue until the qp memory is released. So move the release lock infront of 'uacce_remove'.
