From dc8a0843a435b2c0891e7eaea64faaf1ebec9b11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geert Uytterhoeven Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 23:21:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [JFFS2] fix race condition in jffs2_lzo_compress() deflate_mutex protects the globals lzo_mem and lzo_compress_buf. However, jffs2_lzo_compress() unlocks deflate_mutex _before_ it has copied out the compressed data from lzo_compress_buf. Correct this by moving the mutex unlock after the copy. In addition, document what deflate_mutex actually protects.
