I probably have not wrote reply to that thread and only to Krzysztof on IRC, but my "hack" really does not solve that race condition. And as you wrote it only reduced occurrence on tested HW. Krzysztof wrote that would look at this issue and try to solve it properly. So I have not doing more investigation on that my "hack" patch, race conditions are hard to catch and solve... > I think we have a very similar problem in drm, where the > drm_dev_register() for the overall device (which also registers all > drm_connector) can race with the hotplug of an individual connector in > drm_connector_register() which is hotplugged at runtime. > > I went with a per-connector registered boolean + a lock to make sure > that really only one of the two call paths can end up registering the > connector.
