Hans Verkuil a896c674d5 media: cec: core: add adap_nb_transmit_canceled() callback 
commit da53c36ddd upstream.

A potential deadlock was found by Zheng Zhang with a local syzkaller
instance.

The problem is that when a non-blocking CEC transmit is canceled by calling
cec_data_cancel, that in turn can call the high-level received() driver
callback, which can call cec_transmit_msg() to transmit a new message.

The cec_data_cancel() function is called with the adap->lock mutex held,
and cec_transmit_msg() tries to take that same lock.

The root cause is that the received() callback can either be used to pass
on a received message (and then adap->lock is not held), or to report a
canceled transmit (and then adap->lock is held).

This is confusing, so create a new low-level adap_nb_transmit_canceled
callback that reports back that a non-blocking transmit was canceled.

And the received() callback is only called when a message is received,
as was the case before commit f9d0ecbf56 ("media: cec: correctly pass
on reply results") complicated matters.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
