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/genrtc.c | 13 +++++++------ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/genrtc.c') diff --git a/drivers/char/genrtc.c b/drivers/char/genrtc.c index b6c2cc167c11..2aa69f97360d 100644 --- a/drivers/char/genrtc.c +++ b/drivers/char/genrtc.c @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include @@ -66,6 +66,7 @@ * ioctls. */ +static DEFINE_MUTEX(gen_rtc_mutex); static DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(gen_rtc_wait); /* @@ -337,9 +338,9 @@ static long gen_rtc_unlocked_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, { int ret; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&gen_rtc_mutex); ret = gen_rtc_ioctl(file, cmd, arg); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&gen_rtc_mutex); return ret; } @@ -352,16 +353,16 @@ static long gen_rtc_unlocked_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, static int gen_rtc_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) { - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&gen_rtc_mutex); if (gen_rtc_status & RTC_IS_OPEN) { - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&gen_rtc_mutex); return -EBUSY; } gen_rtc_status |= RTC_IS_OPEN; gen_rtc_irq_data = 0; irq_active = 0; - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&gen_rtc_mutex); return 0; } -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
