Also, hid_device_io_start() does a weird up() on a downed-by-someone-else semaphore. Where was that down() performed in this case? Also, your changelog implies that the kernel is already doing this hid_device_io_start(), only it does it too late. If that is the case then will the existing-before-this-patch call to hid_device_io_start() generate the "io already started" warning? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
