The mutex is used to protect against writes in the configuration register. That happens at probe time, with no possible race yet. Then when the module is unloaded and at suspend/resume. When the module is unloaded, it is an userspace operation, thus via a process. Suspending the system goes through the freezer to suspend all the tasks synchronously before continuing. So it is not possible to hit the suspend ops in this driver while we are unloading it. The resume is the same situation than the probe. In other words, even if there are several places where we write the configuration register, there is no situation where we can write it at the same time, so far as I can judge Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org> Tested-by: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Eduardo Valentin <edubezval@gmail.com>
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.
