This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix possibe deadlock to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: usb-gadget-f_fs-fix-possibe-deadlock.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b3ce3ce02d146841af012d08506b4071db8ffde3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2016 19:55:22 +0800 Subject: usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix possibe deadlock From: Baolin Wang <baolin.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit b3ce3ce02d146841af012d08506b4071db8ffde3 upstream. When system try to close /dev/usb-ffs/adb/ep0 on one core, at the same time another core try to attach new UDC, which will cause deadlock as below scenario. Thus we should release ffs lock before issuing unregister_gadget_item().
