If usb_gadget_giveback_request() is called in usb_ep_queue(), this printer_write() is possible to cause spinlock recursion. So, this patch adds spin_unlock() before calls usb_ep_queue() to avoid it. Signed-off-by: Yoshihiro Shimoda <yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- The recursion can be caused by renesas_usbhs udc driver. I'm not sure this patch is acceptable or not. So, I marked RFC on this patch. Should we fix the udc driver? Or, should we fix the f_printer driver like this patch? drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_printer.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_printer.c b/drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_printer.c index 8df244f..ea0da35a 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_printer.c +++ b/drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_printer.c @@ -555,6 +555,7 @@ static void tx_complete(struct usb_ep *ep, struct usb_request *req) size_t size; /* Amount of data in a TX request. */ size_t bytes_copied = 0; struct usb_request *req; + int value; DBG(dev, "printer_write trying to send %d bytes\n", (int)len); @@ -634,7 +635,11 @@ static void tx_complete(struct usb_ep *ep, struct usb_request *req) return -EAGAIN; } - if (usb_ep_queue(dev->in_ep, req, GFP_ATOMIC)) { + /* here, we unlock, and only unlock, to avoid deadlock. */ + spin_unlock(&dev->lock); + value = usb_ep_queue(dev->in_ep, req, GFP_ATOMIC); + spin_lock(&dev->lock); + if (value) { list_add(&req->list, &dev->tx_reqs); spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->lock, flags); mutex_unlock(&dev->lock_printer_io); -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
