Subject: [PATCH] ibmvfc: Fix a locking imbalance
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 11:03:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54F6D85E.5060906@sandisk.com> (raw)
Avoid that the spin_lock() statement after kref_put() triggers a
lockup if rport != NULL && get_device() == 0. Detected by sparse.
Compile-tested only.
