From 8e2394a981b9258db47f8e223a550d46c6d40cc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:18:52 +0200 Subject: Staging: 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. 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 Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- drivers/staging/vme/devices/vme_user.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/staging/vme/devices/vme_user.c') diff --git a/drivers/staging/vme/devices/vme_user.c b/drivers/staging/vme/devices/vme_user.c index 326991c7d47..8f77bd24630 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/vme/devices/vme_user.c +++ b/drivers/staging/vme/devices/vme_user.c @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include @@ -40,6 +40,7 @@ #include "../vme.h" #include "vme_user.h" +static DEFINE_MUTEX(vme_user_mutex); static char driver_name[] = "vme_user"; static int bus[USER_BUS_MAX]; @@ -559,9 +560,9 @@ vme_user_unlocked_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) { int ret; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&vme_user_mutex); ret = vme_user_ioctl(file->f_path.dentry->d_inode, file, cmd, arg); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&vme_user_mutex); return ret; } -- cgit v1.2.3
