I'm missing something here. I can fully believe that uart_break_ctl() won't call break_ctl() in atomic context, but the fact that it holds a mutex in no way guarantees that. If uart_break_ctl() makes that promise we should just say so. Sorry to be obnoxious, but I'd rather not put confusing stuff into the changelog if possible. jon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
