From 50e244cc793d511b86adea24972f3a7264cae114 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 10:28:15 +1000 Subject: fb: rework locking to fix lock ordering on takeover Adjust the console layer to allow a take over call where the caller already holds the locks. Make the fb layer lock in order. This is partly a band aid, the fb layer is terminally confused about the locking rules it uses for its notifiers it seems.
