From ab477b766edd3bfb6321a6e3df4c790612613fae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Thomas=20Wei=C3=9Fschuh?= linux@weissschuh.net Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2024 17:24:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] leds: triggers: Flush pending brightness before activating trigger MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The race fixed in timer_trig_activate() between a blocking set_brightness() call and trigger->activate() can affect any trigger. So move the call to flush_work() into led_trigger_set() where it can avoid the race for all triggers.
