[070/165] USB: g_serial: dont set low_latency flag

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Jul 30 2010 - 15:04:15 EST


2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jon Povey <jon.povey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 44a0c0190b500ee6bcfc0976fe540f65dee2cd67 upstream.

No longer set low_latency flag as it causes this warning backtrace:

WARNING: at kernel/mutex.c:207 __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x6c/0x288()

Fix associated locking and wakeups.
