From 3cdadc50bbe8f04c1231c8af614cafd7ddd622bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Zidlicky Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 09:52:36 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB: dvb: fix smscore_getbuffer() logic Drivers shouldn't sleep while holding a spinlock. A previous workaround were to release the spinlock before callinc schedule(). This patch uses a different approach: it just waits for the siano hardware to answer.
