What is a clear extension of the critical section should be in own patch with proper justification given. If that was not intentional, you can sill place guard() where the original mutex_lock() was, it doesn't have to be on the first line of a function. > cur_profile = NULL; > - mutex_unlock(&profile_lock); > return 0; > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(platform_profile_remove); > -- i.
