Subject: [PATCH] iio: Fix documentation for iio_dev mlock
Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 17:03:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454943795-7582-1-git-send-email-daniel.baluta@intel.com> (raw)
mlock *must* be used by core and drivers to protect access
to devices state changes.
Signed-off-by: Daniel Baluta <daniel.baluta@intel.com>

At a first glance there are few places where access to iio_dev
state changes are done without mlock protection. Will fix them
with follow up patches.
