[PATCH v2] mmc: mxs: Initialize the spinlock prior to using it

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

 



From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@xxxxxxx>

An interrupt may occur right after devm_request_irq() is called and
prior to the spinlock initialization, leading to a kernel oops,
as the interrupt handler uses the spinlock.

In order to prevent this problem, move the spinlock initialization 
prior to requesting the interrupts.
