ChangeSet 1.1043.1.11, 2003/02/17 10:09:00-08:00, baldrick@wanadoo.fr [PATCH] USB speedtouch: fix speedtouch micro race The disconnect routine counts the completed_receivers/spare_senders list to see if the completion handler has finished. It then kills the tasklet. However the tasklet was being scheduled after adding to the lists, creating a micro race. So schedule the tasklet before adding to the list. diff -Nru a/drivers/usb/misc/speedtouch.c b/drivers/usb/misc/speedtouch.c --- a/drivers/usb/misc/speedtouch.c Tue Feb 18 16:40:50 2003 +++ b/drivers/usb/misc/speedtouch.c Tue Feb 18 16:40:50 2003 @@ -334,12 +334,11 @@ return; } + tasklet_schedule (&instance->receive_tasklet); /* may not be in_interrupt() */ spin_lock_irqsave (&instance->completed_receivers_lock, flags); list_add_tail (&rcv->list, &instance->completed_receivers); spin_unlock_irqrestore (&instance->completed_receivers_lock, flags); - PDEBUG ("udsl_complete_receive: scheduling tasklet\n"); - tasklet_schedule (&instance->receive_tasklet); } static void udsl_process_receive (unsigned long data) @@ -497,13 +496,12 @@ return; } + tasklet_schedule (&instance->send_tasklet); /* may not be in_interrupt() */ spin_lock_irqsave (&instance->send_lock, flags); list_add (&snd->list, &instance->spare_senders); list_add (&snd->buffer->list, &instance->spare_buffers); spin_unlock_irqrestore (&instance->send_lock, flags); - PDEBUG ("udsl_complete_send: scheduling tasklet\n"); - tasklet_schedule (&instance->send_tasklet); } static void udsl_process_send (unsigned long data)
