If that is correct, is there any problem with the following approach? The key difference is the replacement of spin_lock() with spin_trylock() such that if the non-interrupt code has already obtained the lock, the interrupt will not deadlock but instead take the else path and schedule a framebuffer update at the next interval. static void g13_fb_urb_completion(struct urb *urb) { struct g13_data *data = urb->context; spin_unlock(&data->fb_urb_lock); } static int g13_fb_send(struct hid_device *hdev) { struct usb_interface *intf; struct usb_device *usb_dev; struct g13_data *data = hid_get_g13data(hdev); struct usb_host_endpoint *ep; unsigned int pipe; int retval = 0; /* * Try and lock the framebuffer urb to prevent access if we have * submitted it. If we can't lock it we'll have to delay this update * until the next framebuffer interval. * * Fortunately, we already have the infrastructure in place with the * framebuffer deferred I/O driver to schedule the delayed update. */ if (likely(spin_trylock(&data->fb_urb_lock))) { /* Get the usb device to send the image on */ intf = to_usb_interface(hdev->dev.parent); usb_dev = interface_to_usbdev(intf); pipe = usb_sndintpipe(usb_dev, 0x02); ep = usb_dev->ep_out[usb_pipeendpoint(pipe)]; if (unlikely(!ep)) { spin_unlock(&data->fb_urb_lock); return -EINVAL; } pipe = (pipe & ~(3 << 30)) | (PIPE_INTERRUPT << 30); usb_fill_int_urb(data->fb_urb, usb_dev, pipe, data->fb_vbitmap, G13_VBITMAP_SIZE, g13_fb_urb_completion, NULL, ep->desc.bInterval); data->fb_urb->context = data; data->fb_urb->actual_length = 0; retval = usb_submit_urb(data->fb_urb, GFP_NOIO); if (unlikely(retval < 0)) { /* * We need to unlock the framebuffer urb lock since * the urb submission failed and therefore * g13_fb_urb_completion() won't be called. */ spin_unlock(&data->fb_urb_lock); return retval; } } else { schedule_delayed_work(&data->fb_info->deferred_work, data->fb_defio.delay); } return retval; } Thanks, -- Rick -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
