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/hwmon/w83793.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/hwmon/w83793.c') diff --git a/drivers/hwmon/w83793.c b/drivers/hwmon/w83793.c index 697202e27891..8e540ada47d2 100644 --- a/drivers/hwmon/w83793.c +++ b/drivers/hwmon/w83793.c @@ -35,7 +35,6 @@ #include #include #include -#include #include #include #include @@ -52,6 +51,7 @@ #define WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT 2 /* 2 minute default timeout */ /* Addresses to scan */ +static DEFINE_MUTEX(watchdog_mutex); static const unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x2c, 0x2d, 0x2e, 0x2f, I2C_CLIENT_END }; @@ -1333,7 +1333,7 @@ static long watchdog_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, int val, ret = 0; struct w83793_data *data = filp->private_data; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&watchdog_mutex); switch (cmd) { case WDIOC_GETSUPPORT: if (!nowayout) @@ -1387,7 +1387,7 @@ static long watchdog_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, default: ret = -ENOTTY; } - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&watchdog_mutex); return ret; } -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
