So is the deadlock such that: * tpm_chip_unregister() tries to write lock ops_sem. * tpm_transmit() holds read lock to ops_sem. This takes two minutes if no timeouts are calculated. And is the effect of moving vtpm_proxy_fops_undo_open() upwards such that vtpm_proxy_tpm_req_canceled() starts returning true, which in effect breaks the loop in tpm_transmit()? Yeah, the fix as a code change is very simple but I had to use perf probe to verify this so maybe a comment there would be in place to tell why tpm_chip_unregister() must be called last (write lock). > Stefan /Jarkko -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
