From 3c0cc8aa23f4b53446bbf385d4647eec6992a2cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Szymon Janc Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:17:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] NFC: Fix sleeping in invalid context when netlink socket is closed netlink_register_notifier requires notify functions to not sleep. nfc_stop_poll locks device mutex and must not be called from notifier. Create workqueue that will handle this for all devices. BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:269 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4497, name: neard 1 lock held by neard/4497: Pid: 4497, comm: neard Not tainted 3.5.0-999-nfc+ #5 Call Trace: [] __might_sleep+0x145/0x200 [] mutex_lock_nested+0x2e/0x50 [] nfc_stop_poll+0x39/0xb0 [] nfc_genl_rcv_nl_event+0x77/0xc0 [] notifier_call_chain+0x5c/0x120 [] __atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x86/0x140 [] ? notifier_call_chain+0x120/0x120 [] ? skb_dequeue+0x67/0x90 [] atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x16/0x20 [] netlink_release+0x24a/0x280 [] sock_release+0x28/0xa0 [] sock_close+0x17/0x30 [] __fput+0xcc/0x250 [] ____fput+0xe/0x10 [] task_work_run+0x69/0x90 [] do_notify_resume+0x81/0xd0 [] int_signal+0x12/0x17 Signed-off-by: Szymon Janc Signed-off-by: Samuel Ortiz --- Reading git-format-patch failed
