From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx> While reviewing the CEC core code I noticed a few potential problems with locking under normal (and even not so normal) circumstances this wouldn't cause problems, but in theory there could be corner cases where you could get a deadlock or perhaps a race condition. The first patch just renames a lock, the second actually improved the locking scheme. Regards, Hans Hans Verkuil (2): cec: rename cec_devnode fhs_lock to just lock cec: improve locking drivers/staging/media/cec/cec-adap.c | 12 ++++++------ drivers/staging/media/cec/cec-api.c | 8 ++++---- drivers/staging/media/cec/cec-core.c | 27 +++++++++++++++------------ include/media/cec.h | 2 +- 4 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) -- 2.8.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
