Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] eCryptfs: move ecryptfs_find_auth_tok_for_sig() call before mutex_lock
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:00:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1300719658-3184-5-git-send-email-roberto.sassu@polito.it> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1300719658-3184-1-git-send-email-roberto.sassu@polito.it>

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3055 bytes --]

The ecryptfs_find_auth_tok_for_sig() call is moved before the
mutex_lock(s->tfm_mutex) instruction in order to avoid possible deadlocks
that may occur by holding the lock on the two semaphores 'key->sem' and
's->tfm_mutex' in reverse order.
