Subject: [PATCH] i2c: Use a separate mutex for userspace client lists
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 14:22:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100720142227.14bb11bb@hyperion.delvare> (raw)
Moving userspace-instantiated clients to separate lists wasn't nearly
enough to avoid deadlocks in multiplexed bus cases. We also want to
have a dedicated mutex to protect each list.

Michael, this should solve any deadlock issue related to userspace
devices we've been discussing lately. I should probably have done this
from the beginning. This also has the benefit of making your own patch
slightly smaller - I'll update it myself.
