Subject: [char-misc 1/2 for 4.11] mei: fix deadlock on mei reset
Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2017 21:40:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1488742842-18459-1-git-send-email-tomas.winkler@intel.com> (raw)
This patch fixes 'mei: synchronize irq before initiating a reset'
The patch had introduced a deadlock between irq thread and mei_reset()
as they are both holding the same device lock.
---> device_lock:
mei_reset()
<---- interrupt thread
device_lock
---> synchornize_irq()
wait on interrupt thread == (dead lock)
The fix is to call synchronize_irq
prior to call locked mei_reset function.
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> #4.10+
Fixes: f302bb0de6ac (mei: synchronize irq before initiating a reset)
