From 54ad64129cc166b9eec7151f3f9fc83589e33555 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 10:03:32 +0200 Subject: [S390] 3270: fix race with stack local wait_queue_head_t. A wait_event call with a stack local wait_queue_head_t structure that is used to do the wake up for the wait_event is inherently racy. After the wait_event finished the wake_up call might not have completed yet. Remove the stack local wait_queue_head_t from raw3270_start_init and use the global raw3270_wait_queue instead.
