3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tyler Hall <tylerwhall@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a8e83b17536aad603fbeae4c460f2da0ee9fe6ed ] The commit "slip: Fix deadlock in write_wakeup" fixes a deadlock caused by a change made in both slcan and slip. This is a direct port of that fix. Signed-off-by: Tyler Hall <tylerwhall@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andre Naujoks <nautsch2@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: David S.
