leds: avoid races with workqueue
There are races between "main" thread and workqueue. They manifest themselves on Thinkpad X60: This should result in LED blinking, but it turns it off instead: root@amd:/data/pavel# cd /sys/class/leds/tpacpi\:\:power root@amd:/sys/class/leds/tpacpi::power# echo timer > trigger root@amd:/sys/class/leds/tpacpi::power# echo timer > trigger It should be possible to transition from blinking to solid on by echo 0 > brightness; echo 1 > brightness... but that does not work, either, if done too quickly. Synchronization of the workqueue fixes both. Fixes: 1afcadfcd184 ("leds: core: Use set_brightness_work for the blocking op") Signed-off-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> Signed-off-by: Jacek Anaszewski <jacek.anaszewski@gmail.com>
