Subject: [PATCH 1/7] tty_port: Change the buffer allocator locking
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:10:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091118141005.2798.43363.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091118140935.2798.32517.stgit@localhost.localdomain>
We want to be able to do this without regard for the activate/own open
method being used which causes a problem using port->mutex. Add another
mutex for now. Once everything uses port_open to do buffer allocs we can
kill it back off
