Subject: [PATCH] dvb: core: fix race condition in FE_READ_STATUS ioctl
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6757ccc57d2cc4ab4e63d8aee97f2e6b9f998990;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[PATCH] dvb: core: fix race condition in FE_READ_STATUS ioctl

Fix a race condition where an application which issued a FE_READ_STATUS ioctl
directly after FE_SET_FRONTEND would see an old status, i.e.  FE_READ_STATUS
would be executed before the frontend thread has even seen the tungin request
from FE_SET_FRONTEND.
