From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ead3d3c5b54f76da79c079e61bacb4279ec56965 ] We fixed the potential deadlock at dynamic unbinding the HD-audio codec at the commit 7206998f578d ("ALSA: hda: Fix potential deadlock at codec unbinding"), but ironically, this caused another potential deadlock. The current code uses refcount_dec() and waits for the pending task with wait_event for dropping the refcount to 0. This works fine when PCMs are assigned and actually waiting for the refcount drop. Meanwhile, when there was no PCM assigned, the refcount_dec() call itself was supposed to drop to zero -- alas, it doesn't in reality; refcount_dec() complains, spews kernel warning and it saturates instead of dropping to 0, due to the nature of refcount_dec() implementation. This eventually blocks the wait_event() wakeup and the code get stuck there. For avoiding the problem, we call refcount_dec_and_test() and skips the sync-wait if it already reaches to zero. The patch does a slight code reshuffling to make sure to invoke other disconnect calls before the sync-wait, too.
