[PATCH 01/11] iwlagn: verify mutex held for sync commands

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Emmanuel noticed that there's no explicit checking
that prevents the driver from attempting to issue
multiple synchronous commands at the same time and
wrote a patch to check. However, his patch warns
only if a collision actually happened, an unlikely
thing since the driver mutex should be held for
synchronous command submissions.

So instead of checking that a collision happened
add a check that the mutex is held which ensures
that collisions can't happen.
