From: Logan Gunthorpe <logang@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The call to init_completion() in mrpc_queue_cmd() can theoretically race with the call to poll_wait() in switchtec_dev_poll(). poll() write() switchtec_dev_poll() switchtec_dev_write() poll_wait(&s->comp.wait); mrpc_queue_cmd() init_completion(&s->comp) init_waitqueue_head(&s->comp.wait) To my knowledge, no one has hit this bug. Fix this by using reinit_completion() instead of init_completion() in mrpc_queue_cmd().
