Subject: [PATCH 2.6.25-rc4] gigaset: fix Oops on module unload regression
Date: Fri,  7 Mar 2008 19:47:08 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080307184708.C603F110055@xenon.ts.pxnet.com> (raw)

The card state mutex was only initialized when a device was connected,
but used during unload unconditionally, leading to an Oops if a driver
was loaded and unloaded again without ever connecting a device.

Fix this by initializing the mutex as soon as the structure is allocated.
Also add a missing mutex unlock revealed in the same execution path.

Thanks to Roland Kletzing for reporting this problem.

Please merge as a regression fix for 2.6.25.
