Hi,
stanse found a locking error in lirc_dev_fop_read:
if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&ir->irctl_lock))
return -ERESTARTSYS;
...
while (written < length && ret == 0) {
if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&ir->irctl_lock)) { #1
ret = -ERESTARTSYS;
break;
}
...
}
remove_wait_queue(&ir->buf->wait_poll, &wait);
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
mutex_unlock(&ir->irctl_lock); #2
If lock at #1 fails, it beaks out of the loop, with the lock unlocked,
but there is another "unlock" at #2.
regards,
