Subject: [PATCH] spi subsystem: destroy the spi_bitbang workqueue only after the spi master is unregistered
Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 17:48:02 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45EF4F32.2050601@licor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200703071031.39997.david-b@pacbell.net>

From: Chris Lesiak <chris.lesiak@licor.com>

This patch fixes a bug in the cleanup of an spi_bitbang bus.  The
workqueue associated with the bus was destroyed before the call to
spi_unregister_master.  That meant that spi devices on that bus would be
unable to do IO in their remove method.  The shutdown flag should have
been able to prevent a segfault, but was never getting set.  By waiting
to destroy the workqueue until after the master is unregistered, devices
are able to do IO in their remove methods.  An added benefit is that
neither the shutdown flag nor a wait for the queue of messages to empty
is needed.

This patch is against 2.6.19.2, but should apply cleanly to 2.6.20
