No, ->probe() is called from device_register() directly. If you just have one probe thread, you should have enough serialization.
(Unless you're doing something interesting from the bus_notifier, which is called via the notifier chain before ->probe()...) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
