[PATCH] PM / QoS: Fix workqueue deadlock when using pm_qos_update_request_timeout()

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Thu Aug 08 2013 - 16:14:07 EST


pm_qos_update_request_timeout() updates a qos and then schedules
a delayed work item to bring the qos back down to the default
after the timeout. When the work item runs, pm_qos_work_fn() will
call pm_qos_update_request() and deadlock because it tries to
cancel itself via cancel_delayed_work_sync(). Future callers of
that qos will also hang waiting to cancel the work that is
canceling itself. Before ed1ac6e (PM: don't use
[delayed_]work_pending(), 2013-01-11) this didn't happen because
the work function wouldn't try to cancel itself.

Let's just do the little bit of pm_qos_update_request() here so
that we don't deadlock.
