[PATCH] mmc: sdhci: Setting the host->mrq to NULL before executingtuning

From: Chuansheng Liu
Date: Tue Nov 05 2013 - 01:52:54 EST



In function sdhci_request(), it is possible to do the tuning execution
like below:

sdhci_request() {
spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock, flags);
host->mrq = mrq;
...
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&host->lock, flags);

<=== Here it is possible one pending finish_tasklet get running
and it will operate the original mrq, and notified the mrq
is done, and causes memory corruption.

sdhci_execute_tuning(mmc, tuning_opcode);
spin_lock_irqsave(&host->lock, flags);
host->mrq = mrq;
...
}

In the above race place, the original mrq should not be finished wrongly,
so here before unlock the spinlock, we need to set the host->mrq to NULL
to avoid this case.
