From 6a8c97ac92461ec57e36b10572e78d4221e8faa8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jarod Wilson Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 18:56:56 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] lirc_zilog: fix spinning rx thread We were calling schedule_timeout with the rx thread's task state still at TASK_RUNNING, which it shouldn't be. Make sure we call set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) *before* schedule_timeout, and we're all good here. I believe this problem was mistakenly introduced in commit 5bd6b0464b68d429bc8a3fe6595d19c39dfc4d95, and I'm not sure how I missed it before, as I swear I tested the patchset that was included in, but alas, stuff happens...
