From 89092ddd7aca598e3b8874f7a49216e7917d8f3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 17:12:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] HID: fix possible deadlock in usbhid_close() This patch switches usbhid_close() from flush_scheduled_work() to canceling the outstanding work. This fixes a possible deadlock due to work taking the mutex usbhid_close() holds. Lockdep reported the problem.
