[PATCH] rfkill: fix double-mutex-locking

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

 



rfkill_toggle_radio is called from functions where
rfkill->mutex is already aquired.

Remove the lock from rfkill_toggle_radio() and add it to
the only calling function that calls it without the lock held.
