mainlining shenanigans
0dce49efc7
A potential bug was reported in the email "[BUG] atmel_ssc_dai: a possible sleep-in-atomic bug in atmel_ssc_shutdown"[1] Indeed in the function atmel_ssc_shutdown() free_irq() was called in a critical section protected by spinlock. However this spinlock is only used in atmel_ssc_shutdown() and atmel_ssc_startup() functions. After further analysis, it occurred that the call to these function are already protected by mutex used on the calling functions. Then we can remove the spinlock which will fix this bug as a side effect. Thanks to this patch the following message disappears: "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:909" [1]: https://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg71286.html Reviewed-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@bootlin.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190918100344.23629-1-gregory.clement@bootlin.com Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
