4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Charles Keepax <ckeepax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 783513eec3209542fcd6ac0cbcb030b3c17a4827 upstream. snd_soc_dapm_mutex_lock currently uses the un-nested call which can cause lockdep warnings when called from control handlers (a relatively common usage) and using modules. As creating the control causes a potential mutex inversion with the handler, creating the control will take the controls_rwsem under the dapm_mutex and accessing the control will take the dapm_mutex under controls_rwsem. All the users look like they want to be using the runtime class of the lock anyway, so this patch just changes snd_soc_dapm_mutex_lock to use the nested call, with the SND_SOC_DAPM_CLASS_RUNTIME class.
