[PATCH v4] HID: Remove the semaphore driver_lock

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

 



The semaphore 'driver_lock' is used as a simple mutex, and
also unnecessary as suggested by Arnd. Hence removing it, as
the concurrency between the probe and remove is already
handled in the driver core.
