[PATCH] acpi: scan: Fix a possible data race in acpi_scan_hotplug_enabled

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The write operation to "hotplug->enabled" is protected by
the lock on line 1760, but the read operation to
this data on line 1755 is not protected by the lock.
Thus, there may exist a data race for "hotplug->enabled".

To fix this data race, the read operation to "hotplug->enabled" is 
also protected by the lock.
