Subject[PATCH 3.4 118/176] regulator: core: fix race condition in regulator_put()
Date
From: Ashay Jaiswal <ashayj@codeaurora.org>

3.4.107-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 83b0302d347a49f951e904184afe57ac3723476e upstream.

The regulator framework maintains a list of consumer regulators
for a regulator device and protects it from concurrent access using
the regulator device's mutex lock.

In the case of regulator_put() the consumer is removed and regulator
device's parameters are updated without holding the regulator device's
mutex. This would lead to a race condition between the regulator_put()
and any function which traverses the consumer list or modifies regulator
device's parameters.
Fix this race condition by holding the regulator device's mutex in case
of regulator_put.
