From c002f04c0bc79ec00d4beb75fb631d5bf37419bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Billauer Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 09:18:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] char: xillybus: Fix trivial bug with mutex @unit_mutex protects @unit from being freed, so obviously it should be released after @unit is used, and not before. This is a follow-up to commit 282a4b71816b ("char: xillybus: Prevent use-after-free due to race condition") which ensures, among others, the protection of @private_data after @unit_mutex has been released.
