This is indeed nasty.  The deadlock happens when the driver core takes
the parent's device lock.

static int __driver_attach(struct device *dev, void *data)
{
....
	if (dev->parent)	/* Needed for USB */
		device_lock(dev->parent);
	device_lock(dev);
	if (!dev->driver)
		driver_probe_device(drv, dev);

I vaguely remember of some other issue due to the device_lock of the
parent device.  And, I guess a similar deadlock may happen not only
with HD-audio driver but also in general with every driver using async
probe.

Greg, any good way to avoid such a deadlock?  Can we make the parent
device lock conditional somehow?

(BTW, an easy fix particularly for HD-audio is something like:

--- a/sound/hda/hdac_device.c
+++ b/sound/hda/hdac_device.c
@@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ int snd_hdac_device_init(struct hdac_device *codec, struct hdac_bus *bus,
 
 	dev = &codec->dev;
 	device_initialize(dev);
-	dev->parent = bus->dev;
+	// dev->parent = bus->dev;
 	dev->bus = &snd_hda_bus_type;
 	dev->release = default_release;
 	dev->groups = hdac_dev_attr_groups;

... but it's obviously ugly :)


thanks,

Takashi
