Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 22:37:13 +0200 From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@...il.com> To: linville@...driver.com Cc: luciano.coelho@...ia.com, linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH v2] wireless: wl12xx, fix lock imbalance Add omitted mutex_unlock to one of wl12xx_op_start fail paths (when wl12xx_chip_wakeup fails). [v2] Power off the device, because: \= cite from http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124755028209880&w=2 If the chip cannot be booted, why should it remain powered on? In some rare cases, the chip might fail to initialize, but can recover if powered off and on again, so turning it off at this point is the right thing to do. =/ Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@...il.com> --- drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/main.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/main.c b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/main.c index 603d611..d30683c 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/main.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/main.c @@ -336,7 +336,7 @@ static int wl12xx_op_start(struct ieee80211_hw *hw) ret = wl12xx_chip_wakeup(wl); if (ret < 0) - return ret; + goto out; ret = wl->chip.op_boot(wl); if (ret < 0) -- 1.6.3.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
