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/snsc.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/snsc.c') diff --git a/drivers/char/snsc.c b/drivers/char/snsc.c index 32b74de18f5f..208e25731dfe 100644 --- a/drivers/char/snsc.c +++ b/drivers/char/snsc.c @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include #include @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ #define SCDRV_BUFSZ 2048 #define SCDRV_TIMEOUT 1000 +static DEFINE_MUTEX(scdrv_mutex); static irqreturn_t scdrv_interrupt(int irq, void *subch_data) { @@ -105,7 +106,7 @@ scdrv_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) file->private_data = sd; /* hook this subchannel up to the system controller interrupt */ - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&scdrv_mutex); rv = request_irq(SGI_UART_VECTOR, scdrv_interrupt, IRQF_SHARED | IRQF_DISABLED, SYSCTL_BASENAME, sd); @@ -113,10 +114,10 @@ scdrv_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) ia64_sn_irtr_close(sd->sd_nasid, sd->sd_subch); kfree(sd); printk("%s: irq request failed (%d)\n", __func__, rv); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&scdrv_mutex); return -EBUSY; } - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&scdrv_mutex); return 0; } -- cgit v1.2.1
