[alsa-devel] ALSA/usb-audio: snd_usb_autoresume possible recursive locking detected

Tue Aug 25 19:15:23 CEST 2015

Hello Takashi, just tested it on my linux box against 4.2.0-rc8+ and there is
the same 'possible recursive locking detected', but another:

               other info that might help us debug this:
