    [PATCH] USB: UHCI: Get rid of excessive spinlocks · 33d61f24
    Alan Stern authored
    This patch introduces a major simplification into the UHCI driver by
    replacing its multiple spinlocks with a single one.  The protected area of
    code is slightly larger and there's more possibilities for contention on
    an SMP system, but I think that shouldn't be a problem.  Stephen Hemminger
    has been kind enough to test this on his SMP computer and he hasn't
    encountered any difficulties.
