Subject: [PATCHv2 2/2] char: fix possible double-unlock in esp.c
Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2008 16:52:30 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1203727952.5962.35.camel@brick> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <47BF20B0.6090203@gmail.com>
Hitting either of the break statements in the while loop would cause
a double-unlock of info->lock.
[Jiri Slaby suggested simply returning is safe here, rather than a goto]
Noticed by sparse:
drivers/char/esp.c:2042:2: warning: context imbalance in 'rs_wait_until_sent' - unexpected unlock
