The call to init_completion() in mrpc_queue_cmd() can theoretically
race with the call to poll_wait() in switchtec_dev_poll().
poll() write()
switchtec_dev_poll() switchtec_dev_write()
poll_wait(&s->comp.wait); mrpc_queue_cmd()
init_completion(&s->comp)
init_waitqueue_head(&s->comp.wait)
To my knowledge, no one has hit this bug.
Fix this by using reinit_completion() instead of init_completion() in
mrpc_queue_cmd().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
