2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ initialization From: Jonathan Nieder <[email protected]> commit 1d6213ab995c61f7d1d81cf6cf876acf15d6e714 upstream. cx8802_blackbird_probe makes a device node for the mpeg sub-device before it has been added to dev->drvlist. If the device is opened during that time, the open succeeds but request_acquire cannot be called, so the reference count remains zero. Later, when the device is closed, the reference count becomes negative --- uh oh. Close the race by holding core->lock during probe and not releasing until the device is in drvlist and initialization finished. Previously the BKL prevented this race.
