From 913759ac90a727b86da72efcfb70931f497d1cb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2006 01:14:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ide: Fix crash on repeated reset Michal Miroslaw reported a problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated reset while the IDE layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash, and provided a rough fix. This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset state and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress. Note this is not a security issue - random end users can't access the ioctl in question anyway.
