Subject: i2c: cdev lock_kernel() pushdown
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:41:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080715174155.2d52e6f6@hyperion.delvare> (raw)
Hi Jonathan,
I am looking at this patch of yours:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3db633ee352bfe20d4a2b0c3c8a46ce31a6c7149
I believe that no locking is needed in i2cdev_open(). Do you have any
reason to think it does? If not, can I simply revert this patch?
Thanks,
--
Jean Delvare
