From 33a7813219f208f4952ece60ee255fd983272dec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2019 10:30:37 +0200 Subject: 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").
