True. After looking into the code, the problem is that the notify callbacks are called with the spinlock hold. I don't see any reason to do that. > Could we instead replace mdev->lock by a mutex? We changed the code to use a spinlock for a reason: this fixed some troubles in the past with the code locking (can't remember the problem, but this was documented at the kernel logs and at the ML). Yet, the code under the spinlock never sleeps, so this is fine. Yet, in the future, we'll need to do a review of all the locking schema, in order to better support dynamic graph changes. > If there is no pressing need to implement atomic memory allocation I simply > wouldn't do it, especially in device initialisation where an allocation > failure will lead to probe failure as well. The fix for this issue should be simple. See the enclosed code. Btw. it probably makes sense to add some code here to avoid starving the stack, as a notify callback could try to create an entity, with, in turn, would call the notify callback again. I'll run some tests here to double check if it fixes the issue. --- [media] media-device: Don't call notify callbacks holding a spinlock The notify routines may sleep. So, they can't be called in spinlock context. Also, they may want to call other media routines that might be spinning the spinlock, like creating a link.
