Its filename is w1-dont-delay-search-start.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: w1: don't delay search start From: David Fries <david@xxxxxxxxx> Move the creation of the w1_process thread to after the device has been initialized. This way w1_process doesn't have to check to see if it has been initialized and the bus search can proceed without sleeping. That also eliminates two checks in the w1_process loop. The sleep now happens at the end of the loop not the beginning. Also added a comment for why the atomic_set was 2.
