[media] s5p-fimc: Prevent AB-BA deadlock during links reconfiguration
This patch patch eliminates potential AB-BA deadlock when one process calls open(), or VIDIOC_S/TRY_FMT ioctl on the FIMC capture video node, while other thread is reconfiguring media links via media device node: /dev/video? open() /dev/media? MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK ioctl mutex_lock(video_lock) mutex_lock(graph_lock) fimc_pipeline_open() fimc_md_link_notify() mutex_lock(graph_lock) mutex_lock(video_lock) ... ... The deadlock is avoided by always taking the graph mutex first in video node open() or an ioctl, before the video lock is acquired. Reversed order seems impossible, since media device driver's link_notify callback is called with media graph mutex already held. To ensure proper locking order VIDIOC_S_FMT and VIDIOC_TRY_FMT ioctls are not serialized in the v4l2-core and the driver takes care of it itself.
