From 91cb632cd8d0a1649d088a50e752459d1e8b3d79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2012 23:30:02 +0200 Subject: firmware_class: Do not warn that system is not ready from async loads commit 9b78c1da60b3c62ccdd1509f0902ad19ceaf776b upstream. If firmware is requested asynchronously, by calling request_firmware_nowait(), there is no reason to fail the request (and warn the user) when the system is (presumably temporarily) unready to handle it (because user space is not available yet or frozen). For this reason, introduce an alternative routine for read-locking umhelper_sem, usermodehelper_read_lock_wait(), that will wait for usermodehelper_disabled to be unset (possibly with a timeout) and make request_firmware_work_func() use it instead of usermodehelper_read_trylock(). Accordingly, modify request_firmware() so that it uses usermodehelper_read_trylock() to acquire umhelper_sem and remove the code related to that lock from _request_firmware().
