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/ds1620.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/ds1620.c') diff --git a/drivers/char/ds1620.c b/drivers/char/ds1620.c index dbee8688f75c..9aa1fd059aea 100644 --- a/drivers/char/ds1620.c +++ b/drivers/char/ds1620.c @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ #define CFG_CPU 2 #define CFG_1SHOT 1 +static DEFINE_MUTEX(ds1620_mutex); static const char *fan_state[] = { "off", "on", "on (hardwired)" }; /* @@ -210,7 +211,6 @@ static void ds1620_read_state(struct therm *therm) static int ds1620_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) { - cycle_kernel_lock(); return nonseekable_open(inode, file); } @@ -321,9 +321,9 @@ ds1620_unlocked_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) { int ret; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&ds1620_mutex); ret = ds1620_ioctl(file, cmd, arg); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&ds1620_mutex); return ret; } -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
