Subject: [PATCH] video: sm501fb: Early initialization of mm_lock mutex.
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2009 15:45:56 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090703064555.GA8242@linux-sh.org> (raw)
Commit 537a1bf059fa312355696fa6db80726e655e7f17 (fbdev: add mutex for
fb_mmap locking) introduces a ->mm_lock mutex for protecting smem
assignments. Unfortunately in the case of sm501fb these happen quite
early in the initialization code, well before the mutex_init() that takes
place in register_framebuffer(), leading to:

PR is at __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x66/0x1bc

matroxfb appears to have the same issue and has solved it with an early
mutex_init(), so we do the same for sm501fb.
