From 120a37470c2831fea49fdebaceb5a7039f700ce6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:01:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] framebuffer compat_ioctl deadlock Fix deadlock in fb_compat_ioctl. fb_compat_ioctl acquires a mutex and calls fb_ioctl that tries to acquire that mutex too. A regression added during BKL removal.
