See source code of musb_gadget_vbus_draw: 1587 static int musb_gadget_vbus_draw(struct usb_gadget *gadget, unsigned mA) 1588 { 1589 struct musb *musb = gadget_to_musb(gadget); 1590 1591 if (!musb->xceiv->set_power) 1592 return -EOPNOTSUPP; 1593 return otg_set_power(musb->xceiv, mA); 1594 } > > Actually the blocking notifier chain runs in process context, so not fit for use here. > > For mainline kernel there's such issue as well. > Here fix this problem by changing to use atomic_notifier. Are you sure the issue can be reproduced in 2.6.37 or -next tree? In mainline code(2.6.37), blocking_notifier_call_chain is only called in threaded irq handler of otg driver wrt. musb driver, so seems enough. thanks, -- Lei Ming -- 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
