Commitf4757af("staging: panel: Fix single-open policy race condition") introduced in 3.19-rc1 attempted to fix a race condition on the open, but failed to properly do it and used to exit without restoring the semaphore. This results in -EBUSY being returned after the first open error until the module is reloaded or the system restarted (ie: consecutive to a dual open resulting in -EBUSY or to a permission error). [ Note for stable maintainers: the code moved from drivers/misc/panel.c to drivers/auxdisplay/{charlcd,panel}.c during 4.12. The patch easily applies there (modulo the renamed atomic counter) but I can provide a tested backport if desired. ] Fixes:f4757af85# 3.19-rc1 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Mariusz Gorski <marius.gorski@gmail.com> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Cc: Miguel Ojeda Sandonis <miguel.ojeda.sandonis@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
