From 9c56771316ef50992ada284b4c01b03842b2660d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Carpenter Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 15:23:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] test_kmod: fix the lock in register_test_dev_kmod() We accidentally just drop the lock twice instead of taking it and then releasing it. This isn't a big issue unless you are adding more than one device to test on, and the kmod.sh doesn't do that yet, however this obviously is the correct thing to do.
