Subject: Re: [PATCH] serial: Initialize spinlocks in 8250 and don't clobber them.
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:50:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081021165018.28794974@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <48FDF6CB.4070605@caviumnetworks.com>

> The question is:  What is the best way to initialize some (or all) fields of a structure *except* a single lock field that was previously initialized?

Move the initialisation - or at least memset to zero then spin_lock_init
and fill in the other fields later.
