From: Marek Vasut Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2012 02:56:27 +0000 (+0200) Subject: mxs/spi: Fix misuse of init_completion X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=41682e03d4fdc947dbd22725d70f222cc7746852;p=linux-beck.git mxs/spi: Fix misuse of init_completion The init_completion() call does reinit not only the variable carrying the flag that the completion finished, but also initialized the waitqueue associated with the completion. On the contrary, the INIT_COMPLETION() call only reinits the flag. In case there was anything still stuck in the waitqueue, subsequent call to init_completion() would be able to create possible race condition. This patch uses the proper function and moves init_completion() into .probe() call of the driver, to be issued only once. Note that such scenario is impossible, since two threads can never enter the mxs_spi_txrx_dma(), since whole this section is protected by mutex in SPI core. This by no means allows this issue to exit though.
