From 6c5db22d280302c33dafb309c25bf2841fb99c37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:43:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] modules: fix module waiting for dependent modules' init Commit c9a3ba55 (module: wait for dependent modules doing init.) didn't quite work because the waiter holds the module lock, meaning that the state of the module it's waiting for cannot change. Fortunately, it's fairly simple to update the state outside the lock and do the wakeup. Thanks to Jan Glauber for tracking this down and testing (qdio and qeth).
