From 096b7bdc8663c16417ff5fbec42622302e6886e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Nilsson Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:15:24 +0200 Subject: cris: 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. 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 Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson --- arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/eeprom.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/eeprom.c') diff --git a/arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/eeprom.c b/arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/eeprom.c index c3405507a3d1..5047a33043bd 100644 --- a/arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/eeprom.c +++ b/arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/eeprom.c @@ -28,7 +28,6 @@ #include #include #include -#include #include #include #include "i2c.h" @@ -376,7 +375,6 @@ int __init eeprom_init(void) /* Opens the device. */ static int eeprom_open(struct inode * inode, struct file * file) { - cycle_kernel_lock(); if(iminor(inode) != EEPROM_MINOR_NR) return -ENXIO; if(imajor(inode) != EEPROM_MAJOR_NR) -- cgit v1.2.1
