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/toshiba.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/toshiba.c') diff --git a/drivers/char/toshiba.c b/drivers/char/toshiba.c index f8bc79f6de34..f8f09ab0b170 100644 --- a/drivers/char/toshiba.c +++ b/drivers/char/toshiba.c @@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #define TOSH_MINOR_DEV 181 @@ -78,6 +78,7 @@ MODULE_AUTHOR("Jonathan Buzzard "); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Toshiba laptop SMM driver"); MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE("toshiba"); +static DEFINE_MUTEX(tosh_mutex); static int tosh_fn; module_param_named(fn, tosh_fn, int, 0); MODULE_PARM_DESC(fn, "User specified Fn key detection port"); @@ -274,16 +275,16 @@ static long tosh_ioctl(struct file *fp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) return -EINVAL; /* do we need to emulate the fan ? */ - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&tosh_mutex); if (tosh_fan==1) { if (((ax==0xf300) || (ax==0xf400)) && (bx==0x0004)) { err = tosh_emulate_fan(®s); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&tosh_mutex); break; } } err = tosh_smm(®s); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&tosh_mutex); break; default: return -EINVAL; -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
