[PATCH] mtd: lpddr: Fix a potential double mutex_lock
From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Sun Oct 22 2017 - 04:29:07 EST
If 'chip->state == FL_SYNCING', we will 'goto retry' with the mutex
'&shared->lock' already taken.
In such a case, the 'mutex_lock' at line 927 can never succeed.
In order to avoid a deadlock, move the 'mutex_lock(&shared->lock)' at the
very end of the block.
This has been spotted with the following coccinelle script:
@find@
expression x, t;
@@
mutex_lock(x);
... when != mutex_unlock(x)
mutex_lock(t);
@@
expression find.t;
expression find.x;
@@
* mutex_lock(t);
... when != mutex_unlock(t)
* mutex_lock(x);
Fixes: c68264711ca6 ("[MTD] LPDDR Command set driver")
