From 56ea1075e7f07724cf9b91039aa0968a0c70112f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Brown Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 13:57:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] spi: spidev: Hold spi_lock over all defererences of spi in release() We use the spi_lock spinlock to protect against races between the device being removed and file operations on the spidev. This means that in the removal path all references to the device need to be done under lock as in removal we dropping references to the device.
