Hi!
There is a potential data race in drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/diva_mnt.ko
In diva_maint_init there is an initialization of spinlocks (debug.c:
lines 245, 252) and a queue (debug.c: line 237). These objects are used
in handlers of divas_main_fops, for instance, divas_maint_read. These
ops are registered in divas_maint_register_chrdev, which is called
(divamnt.c: line 206) before initialization (divamnt.c: line 211). Thus,
there may occur a situation when the handlers of divas_main_fops occur
to uninitialized resources.
