Subject: [PATCH 3/4] serial: replace open coded mutex with a real mutex in mrst_max3110.c
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 11:02:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100617100204.4379.5286.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100617100012.4379.92949.stgit@localhost.localdomain>
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
The mrst_max3110.c driver uses an open coded, non atomic variable
to create exclusion between two of its worker threads. More than that,
while the main thread does a proper set-work-clear sequence,
the other thread only does a test, with the result that no actual
exclusion is happening.
this patch replaces this open coded variable with a proper mutex
in addition, the 'lock' spinlock is removed from the per adapter structure,
the lock was only ever initialized but never used
