Next: [PATCH 17/68] rocket: kill BKL
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman on 10 Aug 2010 18:20
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan(a)linux.intel.com>

The mrst_max3110 driver had a set of unsafe wakeup sequences
along the following line:

if (!atomic_read(&foo)) {
atomic_set(&foo, 1);
wake_up(worker_thread);
}
and the worker thread would do

if (atomic_read(&foo)) {
do_work();
atomic_set(&foo, 0);
}

which can result in various missed wakups due to test-then-set races,
as well as due to clear-after-work instead of clear-before-work.

This patch fixes these races by using the proper bit test-and-set operations,
and by doing clear-before-work.
