That changelog doesn't sound correct at all. That's not a correct motivation or explanation. I reviewed the patch and it's likely going to cause dead locks. The code is trying to take the spinlock for the first pointer in the array and release it at the end. Now it takes the first pointer's spinlock a bunch of times (dead lock) and releases it once (will not happen because we are already dead). regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
