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/pci/hotplug/cpqphp_sysfs.c | 13 +++++++------ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/pci') diff --git a/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpqphp_sysfs.c b/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpqphp_sysfs.c index 56215322930a..4cb30447a486 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpqphp_sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/pci/hotplug/cpqphp_sysfs.c @@ -34,10 +34,11 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include "cpqphp.h" +static DEFINE_MUTEX(cpqphp_mutex); static int show_ctrl (struct controller *ctrl, char *buf) { char *out = buf; @@ -147,7 +148,7 @@ static int open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) struct ctrl_dbg *dbg; int retval = -ENOMEM; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&cpqphp_mutex); dbg = kmalloc(sizeof(*dbg), GFP_KERNEL); if (!dbg) goto exit; @@ -160,7 +161,7 @@ static int open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) file->private_data = dbg; retval = 0; exit: - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&cpqphp_mutex); return retval; } @@ -169,7 +170,7 @@ static loff_t lseek(struct file *file, loff_t off, int whence) struct ctrl_dbg *dbg; loff_t new = -1; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&cpqphp_mutex); dbg = file->private_data; switch (whence) { @@ -181,10 +182,10 @@ static loff_t lseek(struct file *file, loff_t off, int whence) break; } if (new < 0 || new > dbg->size) { - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&cpqphp_mutex); return -EINVAL; } - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&cpqphp_mutex); return (file->f_pos = new); } -- cgit v1.2.3-58-ga151
