[PATCH stable-28 2/3] PCI hotplug: fix lock imbalance in pciehp

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Wed Jan 28 2009 - 12:54:31 EST


From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@xxxxxxxxx>

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.

Commit c2fdd36b550659f5ac2240d1f5a83ffa1a092289.
