Subject: [PATCH v3] EM28xx - fix deadlock when unplugging and replugging a DVB adapter
Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2011 21:54:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E7E43A2.3020905@yahoo.com> (raw)

Mauro,
Excuse me - I put my brain in backwards today and sent you a reverse diff by
accident! Reresending...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fixes the deadlock that occurs with either multiple PCTV 290e adapters or
when a single PCTV 290e adapter is replugged.
For DVB devices, the device lock must now *not* be held when adding/removing
either a device or an extension to the respective lists. (Because
em28xx_init_dvb() will want to take the lock instead).
Conversely, for Audio-Only devices, the device lock *must* be held when
adding/removing either a device or an extension to the respective lists.
Signed-off-by: Chris Rankin <ranki...@yahoo.com>
Cheers,
Chris
