From 1dacb395d68a14825ee48c0843335e3181aea675 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amos Kong Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2014 16:50:36 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] hwrng: move some code out mutex_lock for avoiding underlying deadlock In next patch, we use reference counting for each struct hwrng, changing reference count also needs to take mutex_lock. Before releasing the lock, if we try to stop a kthread that waits to take the lock to reduce the referencing count, deadlock will occur.
