ACPI: fix a deadlock in hotplug case
we used to run the hotplug code in keventd_wq. But when hot removing the ACPI battery device, power_supply_unregister invokes flush_scheduled_work. This causes a deadlock. i.e 1. When dock is unplugged, all the hotplug code is run on kevent_wq. 2. the hotplug code removes all the child devices of dock device. 3. removing the child device may invoke flush_scheduled_work 4. flush_scheduled_work waits until all the work on kevent_wq to be finished, while this will never be true because the hotplug code is running on keventd_wq... Introduce a new workqueue for hotplug in this patch. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13533 Tested-by: Paul Martin <pm@debian.org> Tested-by: Vojtech Gondzala <vojtech.gondzala@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
