The function ucsi_displayport_work() does not access the connector, so it also must not acquire the connector lock. This fixes a potential deadlock scenario: ucsi_displayport_work() -> lock(&con->lock) typec_altmode_vdm() dp_altmode_vdm() dp_altmode_work() typec_altmode_enter() ucsi_displayport_enter() -> lock(&con->lock) Reported-by: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: af8622f6a585 ("usb: typec: ucsi: Support for DisplayPort alt mode") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Heikki Krogerus <heikki.krogerus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/displayport.c | 4 ---- 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/displayport.c b/drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/displayport.c index d9d3c91125ca..8be92fc1d12c 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/displayport.c +++ b/drivers/usb/typec/ucsi/displayport.c @@ -275,8 +275,6 @@ static void ucsi_displayport_work(struct work_struct *work) struct ucsi_dp *dp = container_of(work, struct ucsi_dp, work); int ret; - mutex_lock(&dp->con->lock); - ret = typec_altmode_vdm(dp->alt, dp->header, dp->vdo_data, dp->vdo_size); if (ret) @@ -285,8 +283,6 @@ static void ucsi_displayport_work(struct work_struct *work) dp->vdo_data = NULL; dp->vdo_size = 0; dp->header = 0; - - mutex_unlock(&dp->con->lock); } void ucsi_displayport_remove_partner(struct typec_altmode *alt) -- 2.43.0
