This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: light: opt3001: fix mutex unlock race
to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

When an end-of-conversion interrupt is received after performing a single-shot reading of the light sensor, the driver was waking up the result ready queue before checking opt->ok_to_ignore_lock to determine if it should unlock the mutex. The problem occurred in the case where the other thread woke up and changed the value of opt->ok_to_ignore_lock to false prior to the interrupt thread performing its read of the variable. In this case, the mutex would be unlocked twice.
