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/ip2/ip2main.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/ip2/ip2main.c') diff --git a/drivers/char/ip2/ip2main.c b/drivers/char/ip2/ip2main.c index d4b71e8d0d23..dfbdf49d1e80 100644 --- a/drivers/char/ip2/ip2main.c +++ b/drivers/char/ip2/ip2main.c @@ -98,7 +98,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include @@ -138,6 +138,7 @@ #include #include +static DEFINE_MUTEX(ip2_mutex); static const struct file_operations ip2mem_proc_fops; static const struct file_operations ip2_proc_fops; @@ -2897,7 +2898,7 @@ ip2_ipl_ioctl (struct file *pFile, UINT cmd, ULONG arg ) printk (KERN_DEBUG "IP2IPL: ioctl cmd %d, arg %ld\n", cmd, arg ); #endif - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&ip2_mutex); switch ( iplminor ) { case 0: // IPL device @@ -2961,7 +2962,7 @@ ip2_ipl_ioctl (struct file *pFile, UINT cmd, ULONG arg ) rc = -ENODEV; break; } - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&ip2_mutex); return rc; } @@ -2982,7 +2983,6 @@ ip2_ipl_open( struct inode *pInode, struct file *pFile ) #ifdef IP2DEBUG_IPL printk (KERN_DEBUG "IP2IPL: open\n" ); #endif - cycle_kernel_lock(); return 0; } -- cgit v1.2.3
