Subject: [ 39/78] firmware_class: Rework usermodehelper check
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:10:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120411231024.912032710@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120411231102.GA6404@kroah.com>

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

commit fe2e39d8782d885755139304d8dba0b3e5bfa878 upstream.

Instead of two functions, read_lock_usermodehelper() and
usermodehelper_is_disabled(), used in combination, introduce
usermodehelper_read_trylock() that will only return with umhelper_sem
held if usermodehelper_disabled is unset (and will return -EAGAIN
otherwise) and make _request_firmware() use it.

Rename read_unlock_usermodehelper() to
usermodehelper_read_unlock() to follow the naming convention of the
new function.
