Subject: [PATCH 10/11] arch: xtensa: platforms: Fix deadlock in iss_net_close()
There is a deadlock in iss_net_close(), which is shown
below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| iss_net_open()
iss_net_close() | mod_timer()
spin_lock_bh() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | iss_net_timer()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold lp->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need lp->lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,
iss_net_close() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock.
