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/block/paride/pg.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/block/paride/pg.c') diff --git a/drivers/block/paride/pg.c b/drivers/block/paride/pg.c index c397b3ddba9b..bed29cb9e6d9 100644 --- a/drivers/block/paride/pg.c +++ b/drivers/block/paride/pg.c @@ -162,7 +162,7 @@ enum {D_PRT, D_PRO, D_UNI, D_MOD, D_SLV, D_DLY}; #include #include #include /* current, TASK_* */ -#include +#include #include #include @@ -193,6 +193,7 @@ module_param_array(drive3, int, NULL, 0); #define ATAPI_IDENTIFY 0x12 +static DEFINE_MUTEX(pg_mutex); static int pg_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file); static int pg_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file); static ssize_t pg_read(struct file *filp, char __user *buf, @@ -518,7 +519,7 @@ static int pg_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) struct pg *dev = &devices[unit]; int ret = 0; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&pg_mutex); if ((unit >= PG_UNITS) || (!dev->present)) { ret = -ENODEV; goto out; @@ -547,7 +548,7 @@ static int pg_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) file->private_data = dev; out: - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&pg_mutex); return ret; } -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
