Subject: [patch] comedi vmk80xx: lock held on error path
Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:46:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120420114627.GK27101@mwanda> (raw)
If the user passes an invalid command, then we don't drop the lock
before returning. The check for invalid commands doesn't need to be
done under lock so I moved it forward a couple lines.
