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)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 728 bytes --]

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
