X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~31^2~6 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ee56a4d3e39c2baafd06aaf26d975a7c9b05e3a2;p=linux-2.6 V4L/DVB (8544): gspca: probe/open race. The device is flagged present after it is registered. During that window calls to open() that should work fail with -ENODEV. Reversing the order fixes the race.
