Subject: [PATCH v7] ath9k: let sleep be interrupted when unregistering hwrng
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2022 17:18:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220628151840.867592-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
There are two deadlock scenarios that need addressing, which cause
problems when the computer goes to sleep, the interface is set down, and
hwrng_unregister() is called. When the deadlock is hit, sleep is delayed
for tens of seconds, causing it to fail. These scenarios are:
1) The hwrng kthread can't be stopped while it's sleeping, because it
uses msleep_interruptible() instead of schedule_timeout_interruptible().
The fix is a simple moving to the correct function. At the same time,
we should cleanup a common and useless dmesg splat in the same area.
2) A normal user thread can't be interrupted by hwrng_unregister() while
it's sleeping, because hwrng_unregister() is called from elsewhere.
The solution here is to keep track of which thread is currently
reading, and asleep, and signal that thread when it's time to
unregister. There's a bit of book keeping required to prevent
lifetime issues on current.
