Subject: usb: libusual: locking cleanup
From: Daniel Walker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I converted the usu_init_notify semaphore to normal mutex usage, and it
should still prevent the request_module before the init routine is
complete. Before it acted more like a complete, now the mutex protects two
distinct section from running at the same time.
