Under which circumstances would you become interested to apply a statement
like “guard(mutex)(&ee1004_bus_lock);”?
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.10-rc7/source/include/linux/mutex.h#L196


Would you like to refer to the function name “ee1004_probe” in the summary phrase?

Regards,
Markus

Hi,

This is the semi-friendly patch-bot of Greg Kroah-Hartman.

Markus, you seem to have sent a nonsensical or otherwise pointless
review comment to a patch submission on a Linux kernel developer mailing
list.  I strongly suggest that you not do this anymore.  Please do not
bother developers who are actively working to produce patches and
features with comments that, in the end, are a waste of time.

Patch submitter, please ignore Markus's suggestion; you do not need to
follow it at all.  The person/bot/AI that sent it is being ignored by
almost all Linux kernel maintainers for having a persistent pattern of
behavior of producing distracting and pointless commentary, and
inability to adapt to feedback.  Please feel free to also ignore emails
from them.

thanks,

greg k-h's patch email bot

Good catch, but it seems that i messed up the locking part event more, sorry.
Because if devm_add_action_or_reset() does a reset operation, a deadlock
will occur since ee1004_cleanup_bus_data() will try to lock the mutex again.

I can provide a cleanup patch to fix both problems.

Thanks,
Armin Wolf
