We fixed the potential deadlock at dynamic unbinding the HD-audio codec at the commit7206998f57("ALSA: hda: Fix potential deadlock at codec unbinding"), but ironically, this caused another potential deadlock. The current code uses refcount_dec() and waits for the pending task with wait_event for dropping the refcount to 0. This works fine when PCMs are assigned and actually waiting for the refcount drop. Meanwhile, when there was no PCM assigned, the refcount_dec() call itself was supposed to drop to zero -- alas, it doesn't in reality; refcount_dec() complains, spews kernel warning and it saturates instead of dropping to 0, due to the nature of refcount_dec() implementation. This eventually blocks the wait_event() wakeup and the code get stuck there. For avoiding the problem, we call refcount_dec_and_test() and skips the sync-wait if it already reaches to zero. The patch does a slight code reshuffling to make sure to invoke other disconnect calls before the sync-wait, too.

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.
