When using this driver with the wireless dongle and some usermode program that monitors every input device (acpid, for example), while another usermode client opens and closes the low-level device repeadedly, the system eventually deadlocks. The reason is that steam_input_register_device() must not be called with the mutex held, because the input subsystem has its own synchronization that clashes with this one: it is possible that steam_input_open() is called before input_register_device() returns, and since steam_input_open() needs to lock the mutex, it deadlocks. However we must hold the mutex when calling any function that sends commands to the controller. If not, random commands end up falling fail.

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.
