[PATCH] dvb: siano: free spinlock before schedule()

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

 



Calling schedule() holding spinlock with disables irqs is improper. As
spinlock protects list coredev->buffers, it can be unlocked untill wakeup.
This bug was introduced in a9349315f65cd6a16e8fab1f6cf0fd40f379c4db.
