This is the same kind of bug as the one fixed by ddc43d6dc7df0849fe41b91460fa76145cf87b67 : mutex_lock() must be used in the device_release file operation in order for all resources to be freed, since returning -RESTARTSYS has no effect here. I stole the commit log from Sylwester Nawrocki, who fixed a few of these issues, since I could not formulate it better. --- Cyril Roelandt (1): media: saa7146: don't use mutex_lock_interruptible() in device_release(). drivers/media/common/saa7146/saa7146_fops.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
