4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Archit Taneja <architt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f0bfcc22d9822947b0ad3095e8363eab5261864c upstream. When the adv7511 i2c client doesn't have an interrupt line, we observe a deadlock on caused by trying to lock drm device's mode_config.mutex twice in the same context. Here is the sequence that causes it: ioctl DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR from userspace drm_mode_getconnector (acquires mode_config mutex) connector->fill_modes() drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes connector_funcs->get_modes adv7511_encoder_get_modes adv7511_get_edid_block adv7511_irq_process drm_helper_hpd_irq_event (acquires mode_config mutex again) In adv7511_irq_process, don't call drm_helper_hpd_irq_event when not called from the interrupt handler. It doesn't serve any purpose there anyway.
