[PATCH 1/3] serial: 8250: move rx_running out of the bitfield

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

 



From: John Ogness <john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

That bitfield is modified by read + or + write operation. If someone
sets any of the other two bits it might render the lock useless.

While at it, remove other bitfields as well to avoid more such
errors.
