[PATCH] PCI: pciehp_core, fix lock imbalance

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Sat Jan 17 2009 - 10:24:23 EST


set_lock_status omits mutex_unlock in fail path. Add the omitted
unlock.

As a result a lockup caused by this can be triggered from userspace
by writing 1 to /sys/bus/pci/slots/.../lock often enough.
