[patch 15/38] mmc: fix a race between card-detect rescan and clock-gate work instances

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu May 05 2011 - 20:18:49 EST


2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx>

commit 26fc8775b51484d8c0a671198639c6d5ae60533e upstream.

Currently there is a race in the MMC core between a card-detect
rescan work and the clock-gating work, scheduled from a command
completion. Fix it by removing the dedicated clock-gating mutex
and using the MMC standard locking mechanism instead.
