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/ppdev.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/ppdev.c') diff --git a/drivers/char/ppdev.c b/drivers/char/ppdev.c index 02abfddce45..723152d978a 100644 --- a/drivers/char/ppdev.c +++ b/drivers/char/ppdev.c @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #define PP_VERSION "ppdev: user-space parallel port driver" @@ -97,6 +97,7 @@ struct pp_struct { /* ROUND_UP macro from fs/select.c */ #define ROUND_UP(x,y) (((x)+(y)-1)/(y)) +static DEFINE_MUTEX(pp_do_mutex); static inline void pp_enable_irq (struct pp_struct *pp) { struct parport *port = pp->pdev->port; @@ -630,9 +631,9 @@ static int pp_do_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) static long pp_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) { long ret; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&pp_do_mutex); ret = pp_do_ioctl(file, cmd, arg); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&pp_do_mutex); return ret; } @@ -641,7 +642,6 @@ static int pp_open (struct inode * inode, struct file * file) unsigned int minor = iminor(inode); struct pp_struct *pp; - cycle_kernel_lock(); if (minor >= PARPORT_MAX) return -ENXIO; -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
