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 commitf9d0ecbf56("media: cec: correctly pass on reply results") complicated matters.

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.
