ACPI / video: Fix acpi_video _register vs _unregister_backlight race
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It is possible for a native backlight driver to load while
acpi_video_register is running, which may lead to
acpi_video_unregister_backlight being called while acpi_video_register
is running and the 2 racing against eachother.

The register_count variable protects against this, but not in a thread
safe manner, this commit adds locking to make this thread safe.
