Subject: [PATCH] fix boot hang on some architectures
Date: Sat, 02 Apr 2005 13:46:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1112471164.5786.23.camel@mulgrave> (raw)
Well, this is a brown paper bag for someone. The new protocol
registration locking uses a rwlock to limit access to the protocol list.
Unfortunately, the initialisation:
static rwlock_t proto_list_lock;
Only works to initialise the lock as unlocked on platforms whose unlock
signal is all zeros. On other platforms, they think it's already locked
and hang forever.
