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/rio/rio_linux.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/rio') diff --git a/drivers/char/rio/rio_linux.c b/drivers/char/rio/rio_linux.c index d58c2eb07f07..e06a5977fdb2 100644 --- a/drivers/char/rio/rio_linux.c +++ b/drivers/char/rio/rio_linux.c @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include @@ -122,6 +122,7 @@ more than 512 ports.... */ /* These constants are derived from SCO Source */ +static DEFINE_MUTEX(rio_fw_mutex); static struct Conf RIOConf = { /* locator */ "RIO Config here", @@ -566,9 +567,9 @@ static long rio_fw_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) func_enter(); /* The "dev" argument isn't used. */ - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&rio_fw_mutex); rc = riocontrol(p, 0, cmd, arg, capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&rio_fw_mutex); func_exit(); return rc; -- cgit v1.2.1
