[PATCH 0/1] leds: trigger: input-events: Rewrite to fix a serious locking issue

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

 



Hi All,

As first discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-leds/20240601195528.48308-1-hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx/

Shortly after ledtrig-input-events being merged into leds-for-next I found
a serious locking issue with it :|

The single patch in this series fixes this. As indicated in the subject
this is close to a full rewrite of ledtrig-input-events. The core
functionality is preserved and since ledtrig-input-events ATM only exists
on leds-for-next the other behavioral changes involved are not a problem.

Lee, I personally think it makes sense to keep the history and apply this
on top (1). But if you prefer you could also drop the current version and
then I'll send out a new patch directly adding the new version of
the input-events trigger.

Regards,

Hans
