Hello,
I've just plugged+unplugged+plugged my USB audio card and the audio subsystem got stuck:
Which kernel? If it's older than 3.7-rc5, could you try 3.7-rc5?
Oh, forgot to mention: 3.7.0-rc5-next-20121112_64+
Through a quick glance, one of mutex locks seems stuck. Just a blind short -- does the patch below cure the problem?
Yes, this helps.
Adding a LOCKDEP splash _before_ applying the patch:
Thanks, this helps much for understanding the cause. It's a new rwsem in the usb-audio driver that deadlocks.
Although the previous patch fixes the deadlock it opens the race again.
Could you try the patch below instead? The rwsem above doesn't have to be taken for the whole operation, but just needs to protect for turning on the flag. The patch below should suffice for protecting races but avoids the deadlock.
