The cec_devnode struct has a lock meant to serialize access to the fields of this struct. This lock is taken during device node (un)registration and when opening or releasing a filehandle to the device node. When the last open filehandle is closed the cec adapter might be disabled by calling the adap_enable driver callback with the devnode.lock held. However, if during that callback a message or event arrives then the driver will call one of the cec_queue_event() variants in cec-adap.c, and those will take the same devnode.lock to walk the open filehandle list. This obviously causes a deadlock. This is quite easy to reproduce with the cec-gpio driver since that uses the cec-pin framework which generated lots of events and uses a kernel thread for the processing, so when adap_enable is called the thread is still running and can generate events. But I suspect that it might also happen with other drivers if an interrupt arrives signaling e.g. a received message before adap_enable had a chance to disable the interrupts. This patch adds a new mutex to serialize access to the fhs list. When adap_enable() is called the devnode.lock mutex is held, but not devnode.lock_fhs. The event functions in cec-adap.c will now use devnode.lock_fhs instead of devnode.lock, ensuring that it is safe to call those functions from the adap_enable callback. This specific issue only happens if the last open filehandle is closed and the physical address is invalid. This is not something that happens during normal operation, but it does happen when monitoring CEC traffic (e.g. cec-ctl --monitor) with an unconfigured CEC adapter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
