[PATCH 4.4 43/73] pwm: Mark all devices as "might sleep"

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thierry Reding <thierry.reding@xxxxxxxxx>

commit ff01c944cfa939f3474c28d88223213494aedf0b upstream.

Commit d1cd21427747 ("pwm: Set enable state properly on failed call to
enable") introduced a mutex that is needed to protect internal state of
PWM devices. Since that mutex is acquired in pwm_set_polarity() and in
pwm_enable() and might potentially block, all PWM devices effectively
become "might sleep".

It's rather pointless to keep the .can_sleep field around, but given
that there are external users let's postpone the removal for the next
release cycle.
