Message-Id: <1253156887-31597-2-git-send-email-jason.wessel@windriver.com> Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:08:05 -0500 From: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@...driver.com> To: gregkh@...e.de Cc: linux-usb@...r.kernel.org, stern@...land.harvard.edu, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@...driver.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/3] usb console: fix mutex lock regression During the 2.6.32 development the use of serial->disc_mutex was introduced. In usb_console_setup() the call to usb_serial_get_by_index() will obtain this mutex. The usb_console_setup() must release the mutex before it completes else later calls to the usb serial core will hang.
