Subject: [RFT PATCH 1/2] ieee1394: nodemgr: fix rwsem recursion
Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2006 19:04:38 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <tkrat.a76041f4792feb5b@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <44FEFC68.90201@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
nodemgr_update_pdrv grabbed an rw semaphore (as reader) which was
already taken by its caller's caller, nodemgr_probe_ne (as reader too).
Reported by Miles Lane, call path pointed out by Arjan van de Ven.
FIXME:
Shouldn't we rather use class->sem there, not class->subsys.rwsem?
