[media] dvb_frontend: eliminate blocking wait in dvb_unregister_frontend()
The wait_event() call in dvb_unregister_frontend() waits synchronously for other tasks to free a file descriptor, but it does that while holding several mutexes. That alone is a bad idea, but if one user process happens to keep a (defunct) file descriptor open indefinitely, the kernel will correctly detect a hung task: INFO: task kworker/0:1:314 blocked for more than 30 seconds. Not tainted 4.7.0-rc1-hosting+ #50 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. kworker/0:1 D ffff88003daf7a50 0 314 2 0x00000000 Workqueue: usb_hub_wq hub_event ffff88003daf7a50 0000000000000296 ffff88003daf7a30 ffff88003fc13f98 ffff88003dadce00 ffff88003daf8000 ffff88003e3fc010 ffff88003d48d4f8 ffff88003e3b5030 ffff88003e3f8898 ffff88003daf7a68 ffffffff810cf860 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810cf860>] schedule+0x30/0x80 [<ffffffff812f88d3>] dvb_unregister_frontend+0x93/0xc0 [<ffffffff8107a000>] ? __wake_up_common+0x80/0x80 [<ffffffff813019c7>] dvb_usb_adapter_frontend_exit+0x37/0x70 [<ffffffff81300614>] dvb_usb_exit+0x34/0xb0 [<ffffffff81300d4a>] dvb_usb_device_exit+0x3a/0x50 [<ffffffff81302dc2>] pctv452e_usb_disconnect+0x52/0x60 [<ffffffff81295a07>] usb_unbind_interface+0x67/0x1e0 [<ffffffff810609f3>] ? __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x53/0x70 [<ffffffff8127ba67>] __device_release_driver+0x77/0x110 [<ffffffff8127c2d3>] device_release_driver+0x23/0x30 [<ffffffff8127ab5d>] bus_remove_device+0x10d/0x150 [<ffffffff8127879b>] device_del+0x13b/0x260 [<ffffffff81299dea>] ? usb_remove_ep_devs+0x1a/0x30 [<ffffffff8129468e>] usb_disable_device+0x9e/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8128bb09>] usb_disconnect+0x89/0x260 [<ffffffff8128db8d>] hub_event+0x30d/0xfc0 [<ffffffff81059475>] process_one_work+0x1c5/0x4a0 [<ffffffff8105940c>] ? process_one_work+0x15c/0x4a0 [<ffffffff81059799>] worker_thread+0x49/0x480 [<ffffffff81059750>] ? process_one_work+0x4a0/0x4a0 [<ffffffff81059750>] ? process_one_work+0x4a0/0x4a0 [<ffffffff8105f65e>] kthread+0xee/0x110 [<ffffffff810400bf>] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40 [<ffffffff8105f570>] ? __kthread_unpark+0x70/0x70 5 locks held by kworker/0:1/314: #0: ("usb_hub_wq"){......}, at: [<ffffffff8105940c>] process_one_work+0x15c/0x4a0 #1: ((&hub->events)){......}, at: [<ffffffff8105940c>] process_one_work+0x15c/0x4a0 #2: (&dev->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff8128d8cb>] hub_event+0x4b/0xfc0 #3: (&dev->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff8128bad2>] usb_disconnect+0x52/0x260 #4: (&dev->mutex){......}, at: [<ffffffff8127c2cb>] device_release_driver+0x1b/0x30 This patch removes the blocking wait, and postpones the kfree() call until all file handles have been closed by using struct kref.
