[ Upstream commit bc6de2878429e85c1f1afaa566f7b5abb2243eef ]
There is a deadlock in rr_close(), which is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | rr_open() rr_close() | add_timer() spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time) ... | rr_timer() del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_irqsave() //(2) (wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold rrpriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler also need rrpriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result, rr_close() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of spin_lock_irqsave(), which could let timer handler to obtain the needed lock.
