Subject: V4L/DVB: dvb: fix smscore_getbuffer() logic Author: Richard Zidlicky <r...@linux-m68k.org> Date: Tue Aug 24 09:52:36 2010 -0300 Drivers shouldn't sleep while holding a spinlock. A previous workaround were to release the spinlock before callinc schedule(). This patch uses a different approach: it just waits for the siano hardware to answer.
