Subject: [PATCH] kprobes: incorrect spin_unlock_irqrestore() call in register_kprobe()
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 11:12:01 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050316054201.GD10456@in.ibm.com> (raw)

Hi,

register_kprobe() routine was calling spin_unlock_irqrestore() 
wrongly. 
This patch removes unwanted spin_unlock_irqrestore() call in 
register_kprobe() routine.

Signed-off-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com>
