Subject: [PATCH] spi: don't lock the bus in __spi_pump_messages if it is already locked
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 00:18:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1848110.TJtF6nar8z@diego> (raw)

External users may use spi_bus_lock to get exclusive access. This will
also grab the bus_lock_mutex and may therefore result in a deadlock if
__spi_pump_messages also tries to get the mutex.

Fixes: 49023d2e4ead ("spi: core: Fix deadlock when sending messages")
Signed-off-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko-4mtYJXux2i+zQB+pC5nmwQ@public.gmane.org>
