Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2012 01:44:16 +0400 From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@...ras.ru> To: Tomas Winkler <tomas.winkler@...el.com> Cc: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@...ras.ru>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, ldv-project@...uxtesting.org Subject: [PATCH] mei: fix mismatch in mutex unlock-lock in mei_amthif_read() Users of mei_amthif_read() expect it leaves dev->device_lock held, while there is a path where mei_amthif_read() unlocks device_lock and returns -ERESTARTSYS. The patch move code locking device_lock back before the return. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
