drivers/gpio/gpiolib-sysfs.c, 796: mutex_lock in gpiochip_sysfs_unregister drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c, 1455: gpiochip_sysfs_unregister in gpiochip_remove drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, 460: gpiochip_remove in grgpio_remove drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, 449: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave in grgpio_remove kernel/irq/irqdomain.c, 243: mutex_lock in irq_domain_remove drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, 463: irq_domain_remove in grgpio_remove drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, 449: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave in grgpio_remove mutex_lock() can sleep at runtime. To fix these bugs, the lock is dropped in grgpio_remove(), because there is no need for locking in remove() callbacks. These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by myself. Signed-off-by: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@xxxxxxxxx> --- v2: * Drop the lock instead of moving the calls to lock functions.
