[PATCH 3.2 038/131] hwmon: (amc6821) Fix possible race condition bug

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

 



3.2.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Axel Lin <axel.lin@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit cf44819c98db11163f58f08b822d626c7a8f5188 upstream.

Ensure mutex lock protects the read-modify-write period to prevent possible
race condition bug.
In additional, update data->valid should also be protected by the mutex lock.
