Subject: [PATCH 2/7] [media] cx88: fix locking of sub-driver operations
Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2011 22:25:58 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110405032558.GC4498@elie> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110405032014.GA4498@elie>

The BKL conversion of this driver seems to have gone wrong.
Loading the cx88-blackbird driver deadlocks.

The cause: mpeg_ops::open in the cx2388x blackbird driver acquires the
device lock and calls the sub-driver's request_acquire, which tries to
acquire the lock again.  Fix it by clarifying the semantics of
request_acquire, request_release, advise_acquire, and advise_release:
all will require the caller to hold the device lock.

Based on a patch by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>.
