Subject: USB: legousbtower: fix deadlock on disconnect
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=33a7813219f208f4952ece60ee255fd983272dec;p=android-x86%2Fkernel.git

USB: legousbtower: fix deadlock on disconnect

Fix a potential deadlock if disconnect races with open.

Since commit d4ead16f50f9 ("USB: prevent char device open/deregister
race") core holds an rw-semaphore while open is called and when
releasing the minor number during deregistration. This can lead to an
ABBA deadlock if a driver takes a lock in open which it also holds
during deregistration.

This effectively reverts commit 78663ecc344b ("USB: disconnect open race
in legousbtower") which needlessly introduced this issue after a generic
fix for this race had been added to core by commit d4ead16f50f9 ("USB:
prevent char device open/deregister race").

Fixes: 78663ecc344b ("USB: disconnect open race in legousbtower")
