Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately there wasn't enough context in the patch to see
that there is a down() earlier in the routine, and that the patch
does indeed remove an incorrectly placed down(). Here is the
entire routine, marked with what the patch removes.
static int ps3_vuart_probe(struct ps3_system_bus_device *dev)
{
int result;
struct ps3_vuart_port_driver *drv;
struct ps3_vuart_port_priv *priv = NULL;
dev_dbg(&dev->core, "%s:%d\n", __func__, __LINE__);
drv = ps3_system_bus_dev_to_vuart_drv(dev);
dev_dbg(&dev->core, "%s:%d: (%s)\n", __func__, __LINE__,
drv->core.core.name);
BUG_ON(!drv);
if (dev->port_number >= PORT_COUNT) {
BUG();
return -EINVAL;
}
down(&vuart_bus_priv.probe_mutex);
result = ps3_vuart_bus_interrupt_get();
if (result)
goto fail_setup_interrupt;
if (vuart_bus_priv.devices[dev->port_number]) {
dev_dbg(&dev->core, "%s:%d: port busy (%d)\n", __func__,
__LINE__, dev->port_number);
result = -EBUSY;
goto fail_busy;
}
vuart_bus_priv.devices[dev->port_number] = dev;
/* Setup dev->driver_priv. */
dev->driver_priv = kzalloc(sizeof(struct ps3_vuart_port_priv),
GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dev->driver_priv) {
result = -ENOMEM;
goto fail_dev_malloc;
}
priv = to_port_priv(dev);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&priv->tx_list.head);
spin_lock_init(&priv->tx_list.lock);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&priv->rx_list.head);
spin_lock_init(&priv->rx_list.lock);
INIT_WORK(&priv->rx_list.work.work, NULL);
priv->rx_list.work.trigger = 0;
priv->rx_list.work.dev = dev;
/* clear stale pending interrupts */
ps3_vuart_clear_rx_bytes(dev, 0);
ps3_vuart_set_interrupt_mask(dev, INTERRUPT_MASK_RX);
ps3_vuart_set_triggers(dev, 1, 1);
if (drv->probe)
result = drv->probe(dev);
else {
result = 0;
dev_info(&dev->core, "%s:%d: no probe method\n", __func__,
__LINE__);
}
if (result) {
dev_dbg(&dev->core, "%s:%d: drv->probe failed\n",
__func__, __LINE__);

return result;
fail_probe:
ps3_vuart_set_interrupt_mask(dev, 0);
kfree(dev->driver_priv);
dev->driver_priv = NULL;
fail_dev_malloc:
vuart_bus_priv.devices[dev->port_number] = NULL;

ps3_vuart_bus_interrupt_put();
fail_setup_interrupt:

dev_dbg(&dev->core, "%s:%d: failed\n", __func__, __LINE__);
return result;
}
Thanks for taking the time to scrutinize.
