From: "wenlin.kang" <wenlin.kang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The problem occurs in follow path. printer_read() | +---setup_rx_reqs() | +---usb_ep_queue() | +---... | +---rx_complete() Although it is clear from code, we can't get it normally. only when we enable some spin_lock debug config option, we can find it. eg: BUG: spinlock lockup on CPU#0, g_printer_test_/584 lock: bf05e158, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: g_printer_test_/584, .owner_cpu: 0 [<c0016e1c>] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0x104) from [<c067aef8>] (dump_stack+0x20/0x24) [<c067aef8>] (dump_stack+0x20/0x24) from [<c0680bec>] (spin_dump+0x8c/0x94) [<c0680bec>] (spin_dump+0x8c/0x94) from [<c039071c>] (do_raw_spin_lock+0x128/0x154) [<c039071c>] (do_raw_spin_lock+0x128/0x154) from [<c0685618>] (_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x64/0x70) [<c0685618>] (_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x64/0x70) from [<bf05b4e8>] (rx_complete+0x54/0x10c [g_printer]) [<bf05b4e8>] (rx_complete+0x54/0x10c [g_printer]) from [<c0480478>] (musb_g_giveback+0x78/0x88) [<c0480478>] (musb_g_giveback+0x78/0x88) from [<c048060c>] (rxstate+0xa0/0x10c) [<c048060c>] (rxstate+0xa0/0x10c) from [<c0480d50>] (musb_ep_restart+0x44/0x70) [<c0480d50>] (musb_ep_restart+0x44/0x70) from [<c0480fe4>] (musb_gadget_queue+0xe8/0xf8) [<c0480fe4>] (musb_gadget_queue+0xe8/0xf8) from [<bf05b2b0>] (setup_rx_reqs+0xa4/0x178 [g_printer]) [<bf05b2b0>] (setup_rx_reqs+0xa4/0x178 [g_printer]) from [<bf05bb58>] (printer_read+0x9c/0x3f4 [g_printer]) [<bf05bb58>] (printer_read+0x9c/0x3f4 [g_printer]) from [<c01387f0>] (vfs_read+0xb4/0x144) [<c01387f0>] (vfs_read+0xb4/0x144) from [<c01388d0>] (sys_read+0x50/0x124) [<c01388d0>] (sys_read+0x50/0x124) from [<c000e900>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x3c) The root cause is that we use the same lock two time in a path, so to avoid the deadlock, we need to unlock in setup_rx_reqs(), and only unlock.
