This driver has three locking issues: - The wait_event_interruptible() condition calls hdpvr_get_next_buffer(dev) which uses a mutex, which is not allowed. Rewrite with list_empty_careful() that doesn't need locking. - In hdpvr_read() the call to hdpvr_stop_streaming() didn't lock io_mutex, but it should have since stop_streaming expects that. - In hdpvr_device_release() io_mutex was locked when calling flush_work(), but there it shouldn't take that mutex since the work done by flush_work() also wants to lock that mutex. There are also two other changes (suggested by Keith): - msecs_to_jiffies(4000); (a NOP) should have been msleep(4000). - Change v4l2_dbg to v4l2_info to always log if streaming had to be restarted.

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.
