Subject: [PATCH 2.6] fix duart locking
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2004 17:19:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4148DBFE.4020600@pantasys.com> (raw)

Hi Ralf,

the duart code tries to hold a spin lock across a call to 
copy_from_user(). This patch releases the spin lock before the call and 
reacquires it afterwards.
