From 6757ccc57d2cc4ab4e63d8aee97f2e6b9f998990 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Beutner Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 17:57:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] dvb: core: fix race condition in FE_READ_STATUS ioctl Fix a race condition where an application which issued a FE_READ_STATUS ioctl directly after FE_SET_FRONTEND would see an old status, i.e. FE_READ_STATUS would be executed before the frontend thread has even seen the tungin request from FE_SET_FRONTEND.
