From f19885fadfdb0bf410b5e31c7dc2f2be7815e454 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Khoroshilov Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 01:57:10 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] staging: sep: call to sep_ioctl() may leave driver in unusable state If sep_ioctl() is called from a process that does not own current transaction, it unlocks unheld sep->ioctl_mutex and returns -EACCES leaving sep->sep_mutex acquired. The patch fixes the mutex lock-unlock mismatch. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
