Subject: [PATCH] ide: Fix crash on repeated reset
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2006 14:54:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1157378041.30801.78.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl (Michał Mirosław) [1] reported a
problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated reset while the IDE
layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash, and provided a
rough fix.
This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset
state and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress.
Note this is not a security issue - random end users can't access the
ioctl in question anyway.
[1] This is what bugzilla.kernel.org calls him anyway
