X-Git-Tag: next-20131210~17^2~27 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=42b6a1baa3ec18de2eb15baa250da6203eeb2d39;p=karo-tx-linux.git serial_core: Don't re-initialize a previously initialized spinlock. The uart_set_options() code unconditionally initalizes the spinlock on the port. This can cause a deadlock in some situations. One instance that exposed the problem, was when writing to /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc to use ttyS0 when the console is already running on ttyS0. If the spinlock is re-initialized while the lock is held due to output to the console, there is a deadlock. Assume the spinlock is initialized if the port is a console.
