Subject: [PATCH] n_tty: Protect minimum_to_wake reset for concurrent readers
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2013 14:01:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383850917-24416-1-git-send-email-peter@hurleysoftware.com> (raw)
With multiple, concurrent readers (each waiting to acquire the
atomic_read_lock mutex), a departing reader may mistakenly reset
minimum_to_wake after a new reader has already set a new value.
Protect the minimum_to_wake reset with the atomic_read_lock critical
section.
