Do you still have the lockdep output showing the deadlock?

I'm not sure how calling xhci_debugfs_create_endpoint() from
xhci_add_endpoint() instead of xhci_check_bandwidth() helps.

Both are called with hcd->bandwidth_mutex held:

usb_set_interface()
         mutex_lock(hcd->bandwidth_mutex);
         usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth()
                 hcd->driver->add_endpoint()    -> xhci_add_endpoint()
                 hcd->driver->check_bandwidth() -> xhci_check_bandwidth()
         mutex_unlock(hcd->bandwidth_mutex);

Yep, I guess I was lucky not to be able to repro again :)

The locks involved are:

hcd->bandwidth_mutex
mm->mmap_sem
[uvc] queue->mutex


Ok, took a look at this.
I don't think the bandwidth mutex matters that much.

To my understanding this is caused by the following lock chains:

ucv_queue_mmap()
  mmap_sem --> queue->mutex

uvc_ioctl_streamon() calling usb_set_interface() calling debugfs_create_dir()
  queue->mutex --> i_mutex_key

Some debugfs error case:
  i_mutex_key --> mmap_sem

So we could end up with this deadlock:
CPU0		CPU1		CPU2
mmap_sem	queue->mutex	i_mutex_key
waiting for waiting for waiting for
queue->mutex	i_mutex_key	mmap_sem	

I have no idea if this can be triggered in real life.

Looks like that requires a some specific debugfs error
to trigger at the same time we are creating a debugfs directory

Thanks
Mathias
