Hi!

Sorry for being unresponsive.

mux_control_set() is an internal helper. It is called from
__mux_control_select() and mux_control_deselect() (and on init...)

In all those cases, there is no race to reach the mux_control_set()
function, by means of the mux->lock semaphore (or the mux not being
"published" yet).

I fail to see how resume is safe when mux->lock is ignored?

Cheers,
Peter
