From 613655fa39ff6957754fa8ceb8559980920eb8ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 14:28:52 +0200 Subject: drivers: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case. Using a scripted approach means we can avoid typos. These drivers do not seem to be under active maintainance from my brief investigation. Apologies to those maintainers that I have missed. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*.*$/include /g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ { /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann --- drivers/char/xilinx_hwicap/xilinx_hwicap.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/xilinx_hwicap') diff --git a/drivers/char/xilinx_hwicap/xilinx_hwicap.c b/drivers/char/xilinx_hwicap/xilinx_hwicap.c index b663d573aad9..d985204d76fe 100644 --- a/drivers/char/xilinx_hwicap/xilinx_hwicap.c +++ b/drivers/char/xilinx_hwicap/xilinx_hwicap.c @@ -81,7 +81,6 @@ #include #include #include -#include #include #include #include @@ -112,6 +111,7 @@ #define HWICAP_DEVICES 1 /* An array, which is set to true when the device is registered. */ +static DEFINE_MUTEX(hwicap_mutex); static bool probed_devices[HWICAP_DEVICES]; static struct mutex icap_sem; @@ -502,7 +502,7 @@ static int hwicap_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) struct hwicap_drvdata *drvdata; int status; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&hwicap_mutex); drvdata = container_of(inode->i_cdev, struct hwicap_drvdata, cdev); status = mutex_lock_interruptible(&drvdata->sem); @@ -528,7 +528,7 @@ static int hwicap_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) error: mutex_unlock(&drvdata->sem); out: - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&hwicap_mutex); return status; } -- cgit v1.2.1
