3.5.7.26 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 8b8d654b55648561287bd8baca0f75f964a17038 upstream. The codes to initialize work struct or create a proc interface should be called only once and never although it's called many times through the init callback. Move that stuff into patch_generic_hdmi() so that it's called only once. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> This is being backported to 3.4 and 3.5 due to prevention of kernel panic. The kernel panic was observed by executing 'cat /proc/asound/card0/codec0' on a particular machine, which was - running in battery mode - having an external HDMI monitor connected - running the fglrx driver. In short, the one-time init code initializes a delayed_work struct. Then, I believe the following happened: 1) the delayed_work was activated 2) the delayed_work struct was reinitialized by the init code 3) when the delayed_work timed out (ready to run the callback function), the kernel panic happened because the delayed_work struct had been corrupted in step 2.
