Fix the circular lock dependency and unbalanced unlock of addess0_mutex introduced when fixing an address0_mutex enumeration retry race in commit ae6dc22d2d1 ("usb: hub: Fix usb enumeration issue due to address0 race") Make sure locking order between port_dev->status_lock and address0_mutex is correct, and that address0_mutex is not unlocked in hub_port_connect "done:" codepath which may be reached without locking address0_mutex Fixes: 6ae6dc22d2d1 ("usb: hub: Fix usb enumeration issue due to address0 race") Cc: <redacted> Signed-off-by: Mathias Nyman <redacted>Oh, this is great, with this patch I can finally hot-plug my thunderbolt dock (and thus a XHCI controller) without the XHCI controller given a whole bunch of weird errors (and some USB devices not working), which it does not when already connected at boot. I also tried the hotplug thingy with the previous fix without this locking fix and then I actually hit the deadlock and things like lsusb would hang. If we can get these 2 fixes together merged soon and also backported to the stable series that would be great: Acked-by: Hans de Goede <redacted> Tested-by: Hans de Goede <redacted> Regards, Hans
