Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] platform/x86: hp-wmi: avoid cancel_delayed_work_sync from work handler
Date: Sun,  5 Apr 2026 17:44:57 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405144502.24944-3-emreleno@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260405144502.24944-1-emreleno@gmail.com>

hp_wmi_apply_fan_settings() uses cancel_delayed_work_sync() to stop
the keep-alive timer in AUTO mode. However, since
hp_wmi_apply_fan_settings() is also called from the keep-alive
handler, a race condition with a sysfs write can cause the handler to
wait on itself, leading to a deadlock.

Replace cancel_delayed_work_sync() with cancel_delayed_work() in
hp_wmi_apply_fan_settings() to avoid the self-flush deadlock.

Fixes: c203c59fb5de ("platform/x86: hp-wmi: implement fan keep-alive")
