There is a deadlock in ci_otg_del_timer(), the process is shown below: (thread 1) | (thread 2) ci_otg_del_timer() | ci_otg_hrtimer_func() ... | spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | ... ... | hrtimer_cancel() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2) (block forever) We hold ci->lock in position (1) and use hrtimer_cancel() to wait ci_otg_hrtimer_func() to stop, but ci_otg_hrtimer_func() also need ci->lock in position (2). As a result, the hrtimer_cancel() in ci_otg_del_timer() will be blocked forever. This patch extracts hrtimer_cancel() from the protection of spin_lock_irqsave() in order that the ci_otg_hrtimer_func() could obtain the ci->lock. What`s more, there will be no race happen. Because the "next_timer" is always under the protection of spin_lock_irqsave() and we only check whether "next_timer" equals to NUM_OTG_FSM_TIMERS in the following code.
