Subject: [PATCH 5/8] PM: fix new mutex-locking bug in the PM core
Date: Tue,  4 Mar 2008 15:18:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1204672732-3127-5-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080304231519.GC3073@suse.de>

From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

This patch (as1041) fixes a bug introduced by the
acquire-all-device-semaphores reversion.  The error pathway of
dpm_suspend() fails to reacquire a mutex it should be holding.
