Hi,
I was looking for uses of the BKL in locking.
In devio.c::claimuntf it seems to be used to guard against a race
with khubd. IMHO it fails to do so as usb_find_interface_driver
calls probe which may sleep and thus drop the lock.
Comments?
I propose deleting the testing function and make claimintf
return an error value. Thus locking could be encapsulated.
Regards
Oliver
