[PATCH v2 2/2] gpiolib: cdev: Fix &le->wait.lock deadlock issue

From: YE Chengfeng
Date: Mon Jun 26 2023 - 06:40:11 EST


The softirq lineevent_irq_thread() could deadlock on &le->wait.lock
if it preempts lineevent_read_unlocked() which acquires the same
lock but not disable irq.

Fix the potential deadlock by spin_lock_irq().

Fixes: dea9c80ee672 ("gpiolib: rework the locking mechanism for lineevent kfifo")
