This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled staging: wfx: unlock on error path to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus 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 hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From f0b9d875faa4499afe3381404c3795e9da84bc00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 11:36:56 +0300 Subject: staging: wfx: unlock on error path MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit We need to release the tx_lock on the error path before returning.
