From 9e68c53910721ffc55c05ee9bbc08129c796b470 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurent Pinchart Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:38:28 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] uvcvideo: Don't call vb2 mmap and get_unmapped_area with queue lock held MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit videobuf2 has long been subject to AB-BA style deadlocks due to the queue lock and mmap_sem being taken in different orders for the mmap and get_unmapped_area operations. The problem has been fixed by making those two operations callable without taking the queue lock, using an mmap_lock internal to videobuf2. The uvcvideo driver still calls the mmap and get_unmapped_area operations with the queue lock held, resulting in a potential deadlock. As the operations can now be called without locking the queue, fix it. Reported-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --- Reading git-format-patch failed
