V4L/DVB (6268): V4L: Fix a lock inversion in generic videobuf code
videobuf_qbuf takes q->lock, and then calls q->ops->buf_prepare which by design in all drivers calls videobuf_iolock which calls videobuf_dma_init_user and this takes current->mm->mmap_sem on the other hand if user calls mumap from other thread, sys_munmap takes current->mm->mmap_sem and videobuf_vm_close takes q->lock Since this can occur only for V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP buffers, take current->mm->mmap_sem in qbuf, before q->lock, and don't take current->mm->mmap_sem videobuf_dma_init_user for those buffers Signed-off-by: Maxim Levitsky <maximlevitsky@gmail.com> http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.video4linux/34978/focus=34981 Reviewed-by: Ricardo Cerqueira <v4l@cerqueira.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
