Subject: [PATCH 4/4] usb: libusual: locking cleanup
Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 00:00:04 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071221205859.316759032@mvista.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20071221205848.989157559@mvista.com

[-- Attachment #1: libusual-locking-cleanup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1993 bytes --]

I converted the usu_init_notify semaphore to normal mutex usage, and it 
should still prevent the request_module before the init routine is
complete. Before it acted more like a complete, now the mutex protects
two distinct section from running at the same time..
