From 4ceabaf7909d109db6afbffc4ed182741fc32043 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2019 15:51:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] HID: core: Do not call request_module() in async context request_module() may not be called form async context and in some cases hid devices may be added from an async context. One example of this happening is under hyperv, where this was triggering a WARN_ON in request_module(): [ 11.174497] hid_add_device+0xee/0x2b0 [hid] [ 11.174499] mousevsc_probe+0x223/0x2eb [hid_hyperv] [ 11.174501] vmbus_probe+0x3a/0x90 [ 11.174504] really_probe+0x229/0x420 [ 11.174506] driver_probe_device+0x115/0x130 [ 11.174507] __driver_attach_async_helper+0x87/0x90 [ 11.174509] async_run_entry_fn+0x37/0x150 This commit skips the request_module(), falling back to the old behavior of letting userspace deal with this, in case we are called from an async context.
