Subject: [patch 07/22] e1000e: fix double release of mutex
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:04:12 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081217000412.GH4504@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081217000306.GA4504@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: e1000e-fix-double-release-of-mutex.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1577 bytes --]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

commit 30bb0e0dce78427f3e5cb728d6b5ea73acbefffa upstream.

During a reset, releasing the swflag after it failed to be acquired would
cause a double unlock of the mutex.  Instead, test whether acquisition of
the swflag was successful and if not, do not release the swflag.  The reset
must still be done to bring the device to a quiescent state.

This resolves [BUG 12200] BUG: bad unlock balance detected! e1000e
