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/applicom.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/applicom.c') diff --git a/drivers/char/applicom.c b/drivers/char/applicom.c index f4ae0e0fb631..e7ba774beda6 100644 --- a/drivers/char/applicom.c +++ b/drivers/char/applicom.c @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include #include @@ -60,6 +60,7 @@ #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_APPLICOM_PCI2000PFB 0x0003 #endif +static DEFINE_MUTEX(ac_mutex); static char *applicom_pci_devnames[] = { "PCI board", "PCI2000IBS / PCI2000CAN", @@ -707,7 +708,7 @@ static long ac_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) if (IS_ERR(adgl)) return PTR_ERR(adgl); - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&ac_mutex); IndexCard = adgl->num_card-1; if(cmd != 6 && ((IndexCard >= MAX_BOARD) || !apbs[IndexCard].RamIO)) { @@ -717,7 +718,7 @@ static long ac_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) warncount--; } kfree(adgl); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&ac_mutex); return -EINVAL; } @@ -835,7 +836,7 @@ static long ac_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) } Dummy = readb(apbs[IndexCard].RamIO + VERS); kfree(adgl); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&ac_mutex); return 0; } -- cgit v1.2.3-58-ga151
