This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled test_firmware: fix missing unlock on error in to my driver-core git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git in the driver-core-next branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From a5e1923356505e46476c2fb518559b7a4d9d25b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Yongjun <weiyongjun1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2018 11:12:55 +0000 Subject: test_firmware: fix missing unlock on error in config_num_requests_store() Add the missing unlock before return from function config_num_requests_store() in the error handling case.
