From 7e9f4b2d3e21e87c26025810413ef1592834e63b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 16:28:06 -0400 Subject: Driver core: Don't call put methods while holding a spinlock The klist utility routines currently call _put methods while holding a spinlock. This is of course illegal; a put routine could try to unregister a device and hence need to sleep. No problems have arisen until now because in many cases klist removals were done synchronously, so the _put methods were never actually used. In other cases we may simply have been lucky. This patch (as784) reworks the klist routines so that _put methods are called only _after_ the klist's spinlock has been released.
