[PATCH v3] EM28xx - fix deadlock when unplugging and replugging a DVB adapter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Mauro,

Excuse me - I put my brain in backwards today and sent you a reverse diff by accident! Reresending...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fixes the deadlock that occurs with either multiple PCTV 290e adapters or when a single PCTV 290e adapter is replugged.

For DVB devices, the device lock must now *not* be held when adding/removing either a device or an extension to the respective lists. (Because em28xx_init_dvb() will want to take the lock instead).

Conversely, for Audio-Only devices, the device lock *must* be held when adding/removing either a device or an extension to the respective lists.

Cheers,
Chris
