HID: debug: fix RCU preemption issue
Commit 2353f2bea ("HID: protect hid_debug_list") introduced mutex locking around debug_list access to prevent SMP races when debugfs nodes are being operated upon by multiple userspace processess. mutex is not a proper synchronization primitive though, as the hid-debug callbacks are being called from atomic contexts. We also have to be careful about disabling IRQs when taking the lock to prevent deadlock against IRQ handlers. Benjamin reports this has also been reported in RH bugzilla as bug #958935. =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 3.9.0+ #94 Not tainted ------------------------------- include/linux/rcupdate.h:476 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 4 locks held by Xorg/5502: #0: (&evdev->mutex){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff81512c3d>] evdev_write+0x6d/0x160 #1: (&(&dev->event_lock)->rlock#2){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff8150dd9b>] input_inject_event+0x5b/0x230 #2: (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8150dd82>] input_inject_event+0x42/0x230 #3: (&(&usbhid->lock)->rlock){-.....}, at: [<ffffffff81565289>] usb_hidinput_input_event+0x89/0x120 stack backtrace: CPU: 0 PID: 5502 Comm: Xorg Not tainted 3.9.0+ #94 Hardware name: Dell Inc.
