From af70316af182f4716cc5eec7e0d27fc731d164bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "mochel@digitalimplant.org" Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2005 10:41:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add a semaphore to struct device to synchronize calls to its driver. This adds a per-device semaphore that is taken before every call from the core to a driver method. This prevents e.g. simultaneous calls to the ->suspend() or ->resume() and ->probe() or ->release(), potentially saving a whole lot of headaches. It also moves us a step closer to removing the bus rwsem, since it protects the fields in struct device that are modified by the core.
