[PATCH] gpiolib: don't call sleeping functions with a spinlock taken

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

 



From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

We must not call pinctrl_gpio_can_use_line() with the gpio_lock taken
as it takes a mutex internally. Let's move the call before taking the
spinlock and store the return value.

This isn't perfect - there's a moment between calling
pinctrl_gpio_can_use_line() and taking the spinlock where the situation
can change but it isn't a regression either: previously this part wasn't
protected at all and it only affects the information user-space is
seeing.
