It seems you didn't inspect all users of vb2_fop_release(). There are 3 
drivers
that don't assign vb2_fop_release() to struct v4l2_file_operations 
directly but
instead call it from within its own release() handler. Two of them do call
vb2_fop_release() with the video queue lock already held.

$ git grep -n vb2_fop_rel -- drivers/media/

drivers/media/platform/exynos4-is/fimc-capture.c:552:   ret = 
vb2_fop_release(file);
drivers/media/platform/exynos4-is/fimc-lite.c:549: 
vb2_fop_release(file);

A rather ugly solution would be to open code the vb2_fop_release() function
in those driver, like in below patch (untested). Unless there are better
proposals I would queue the patch as below together with the $subject patch
upstream.

Subject: [PATCH] exynos4-is: Do not call vb2_fop_release() with queue 
lock held

Currently vb2_fop_release() function doesn't take the queue lock,
but it is going to change and then there would happen a deadlock
in fimc_capture_release() and fimc_lite_release(), since these
function take the video queue lock prior to calling vb2_fop_release().

To avoid a deadlock open code the vb2_fop_release() function in those
drivers.

Very good catch, thanks!

IMHO this will lead to the same type of mistakes in the future.

 What about creating a function __vb2_fop_release that does exactly
the same as the original function but with an extra parameter bool
lock_held

vb2_fop_release will be a wrapper for that funtion with lock_held== false

drivers that overload the fop_release and need to hold the lock will
call the __ function with lock_held= true

What do you think?

Thanks!

Hmm, the parameter would be telling whether the lock is already held ? 
Perhaps
we should inverse its meaning and it should indicate whether 
vb2_fop_release()
should be taking the lock internally ? It seems to me more straightforward.

I was also considering this, it's probably better. I'm not sure about 
exporting
functions prefixed with __ though. And the locking becomes less clear 
with such
functions proliferation.

Anyway, I'm in general personally OK with having an additional version like:

__vb2_fop_release(struct file *filp, bool lock);

Hello Sylwester

I have just posted a new version. Please take a look to it, it should
fix your issue.

I havent tried it in hw because I am out of the office.

Regards!
