If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab commit 76d81243a487c09619822ef8e7201a756e58a87d upstream. As warned by smatch: drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c:314 dvb_frontend_get_event() warn: inconsistent returns 'sem:&fepriv->sem'. Locked on: line 288 line 295 line 306 line 314 Unlocked on: line 303 The lock implementation for get event is wrong, as, if an interrupt occurs, down_interruptible() will fail, and the routine will call up() twice when userspace calls the ioctl again. The bad code is there since when Linux migrated to git, in 2005.
