Would you be able to test the following patch please?
Sean,
I think you should be able to test this with the vivid driver. Load the vivid
driver,
run:
cec-ctl --tv; cec-ctl -d1 --playback
Then:
cec-ctl -d1 -t0 --user-control-pressed ui-cmd=F5
Ah, thanks. That will help with testing/reproducing.
That said, I tried this, but it doesn't crash for me, but perhaps I need to run
some RC command first...
Hmm I think those commands should be enough. It probably needs
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK to detect the uninitialized spinlock. I'm trying it now.
Yes, that turned out to work. With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK on, it goes bang
every time. With the patch, the problem goes away.
Without CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK we're going into undefined behaviour, so
Torbjorn you're only seeing the oops occassionally (and which is why it has
not been observed or reported before).
Thanks,
Sean
FYI i have tested this patch for a while now and have not seen any more kernel
oops.
So it appears to be working.
