[PATCH 1/2] pcmcia: pcmcia_dev_present bugfix

Dominik Brodowski linux at dominikbrodowski.net
Tue Apr 27 13:01:14 EDT 2010


pcmcia_dev_present is in and by itself buggy. Add a note specifying
why it is broken, and replace the broken locking -- taking a mutex
is a bad idea in IRQ context, from which this function is rarely
called -- by an atomic_t.
