Subject: [PATCH] rfkill: fix double-mutex-locking
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 17:49:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200711281749.34572.mb@bu3sch.de> (raw)

rfkill_toggle_radio is called from functions where
rfkill->mutex is already aquired.

Remove the lock from rfkill_toggle_radio() and add it to
the only calling function that calls it without the lock held.

Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <mb@bu3sch.de>
