Since the conversion from USB to HID (in v3.17), some people reported a freeze on boot with the wacom driver. Hans managed to get a stacktrace: [ 240.272331] Call Trace: [ 240.272338] [<ffffffff813de7b9>] ? usb_hcd_submit_urb+0xa9/0xb10 [ 240.272347] [<ffffffff81555579>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [ 240.272355] [<ffffffff815559e6>] schedule_preempt_disabled+0x16/0x20 [ 240.272363] [<ffffffff81557365>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0xe5/0x230 [ 240.272372] [<ffffffff815574c7>] mutex_lock+0x17/0x30 [ 240.272380] [<ffffffffa063c1d2>] wacom_resume+0x22/0x50 [wacom] [ 240.272396] [<ffffffffa01aea8a>] hid_resume_common+0xba/0x110 [usbhid] [ 240.272404] [<ffffffff813e5890>] ? usb_runtime_suspend+0x80/0x80 [ 240.272417] [<ffffffffa01aeb1d>] hid_resume+0x3d/0x70 [usbhid] [ 240.272425] [<ffffffff813e44a6>] usb_resume_interface.isra.6+0xb6/0x120 [ 240.272432] [<ffffffff813e4774>] usb_resume_both+0x74/0x140 [ 240.272439] [<ffffffff813e58aa>] usb_runtime_resume+0x1a/0x20 [ 240.272446] [<ffffffff813b1912>] __rpm_callback+0x32/0x70 [ 240.272453] [<ffffffff813b1976>] rpm_callback+0x26/0xa0 [ 240.272460] [<ffffffff813b2d71>] rpm_resume+0x4b1/0x690 [ 240.272468] [<ffffffff812ab992>] ? radix_tree_lookup_slot+0x22/0x50 [ 240.272475] [<ffffffff813b2c1a>] rpm_resume+0x35a/0x690 [ 240.272482] [<ffffffff8116e9c9>] ? zone_statistics+0x89/0xa0 [ 240.272489] [<ffffffff813b2f90>] __pm_runtime_resume+0x40/0x60 [ 240.272497] [<ffffffff813e4272>] usb_autopm_get_interface+0x22/0x60 [ 240.272509] [<ffffffffa01ae8d9>] usbhid_open+0x59/0xe0 [usbhid] [ 240.272517] [<ffffffffa063ac85>] wacom_open+0x35/0x50 [wacom] [ 240.272525] [<ffffffff813f37b9>] input_open_device+0x79/0xa0 [ 240.272534] [<ffffffffa048d1c1>] evdev_open+0x1b1/0x200 [evdev] [ 240.272543] [<ffffffff811c899e>] chrdev_open+0xae/0x1f0 [ 240.272549] [<ffffffff811c88f0>] ? cdev_put+0x30/0x30 [ 240.272556] [<ffffffff811c17e2>] do_dentry_open+0x1d2/0x320 [ 240.272562] [<ffffffff811c1cd1>] finish_open+0x31/0x50 [ 240.272571] [<ffffffff811d2202>] do_last.isra.36+0x652/0xe50 [ 240.272579] [<ffffffff811d2ac7>] path_openat+0xc7/0x6f0 [ 240.272586] [<ffffffff811cf012>] ? final_putname+0x22/0x50 [ 240.272594] [<ffffffff811d42d2>] ? user_path_at_empty+0x72/0xd0 [ 240.272602] [<ffffffff811d43fd>] do_filp_open+0x4d/0xc0 [...] So here, wacom_open is called, and then wacom_resume is called by the PM system. However, wacom_open already took the lock when wacom_resume tries to get it. Freeze. A little bit of history shows that this already happened in the past - commit f6cd378372bf ("Input: wacom - fix runtime PM related deadlock"), and the solution was to call first the PM function before taking the lock. The lock was introduced in commit commit e722409445fb ("Input: wacom - implement suspend and autosuspend") when the autosuspend feature has been added. Given that usbhid already takes care of this very same locking between suspend/resume, I think we can simply kill the lock in open/close. The lock is now used also with LEDs, so we can not remove it completely.
