Subject: [PATCH] driver core: platform: fix race condition with driver_override
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 16:55:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170425235526.GA165155@google.com> (raw)
The driver_override implementation is susceptible to race condition when
different threads are reading vs storing a different driver override.
Add locking to avoid race condition.
Fixes: 3d713e0e382e ("driver core: platform: add device binding path 'driver_override'")
