From 7ef43ebaa538e0cc9063cbf84593a05091bcace2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Allan Stephens Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 15:42:28 -0700 Subject: tipc: Fix race condition when creating socket or native port This patch eliminates the (very remote) chance of a crash resulting from a partially initialized socket or native port unexpectedly receiving a message. Now, during the creation of a socket or native port, the underlying generic port's lock is not released until all initialization required to handle incoming messages has been done.
