[PATCH 10/22] gpiolib: cdev: fix minor race in GET_LINEINFO_WATCH

From: Kent Gibson
Date: Tue Jun 23 2020 - 00:02:43 EST


Merge separate usage of test_bit/set_bit into test_and_set_bit to remove
the possibility of a race between the test and set.

Similarly test_bit and clear_bit.

In the existing code it is possible for two threads to race past the
test_bit and then set or clear the watch bit, and neither return EBUSY.
