[PATCH] firewire: fw-core: enforce write order when updating fw_device.generation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



fw_device.node_id and fw_device.generation are accessed without mutexes.
We have to ensure that all readers will get to see node_id updates
before generation updates.
