From 37fa8716e2d4c4155205aa4a904835de09edbb88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomas Melin Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 10:32:08 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] rc-main: fix lockdep splash for rc-main lockdep reports a potential circular dependecy deadlock when registering input device. Unlock mutex rc_dev->lock prior to calling ir_raw_event_register to avoid the circular dependency since that function also calls input_register_device and rc_open. ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.17.0-rc7+ #24 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------- modprobe/647 is trying to acquire lock: (input_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [] input_register_device+0x2ba/0x381 but task is already holding lock: (ir_raw_handler_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [] ir_raw_event_register+0x102/0x190 which lock already depends on the new lock.
