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/misc/phantom.c | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/misc') diff --git a/drivers/misc/phantom.c b/drivers/misc/phantom.c index 75ee0d3f6f4..3712e5077e2 100644 --- a/drivers/misc/phantom.c +++ b/drivers/misc/phantom.c @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ #define PHB_RUNNING 1 #define PHB_NOT_OH 2 +static DEFINE_MUTEX(phantom_mutex); static struct class *phantom_class; static int phantom_major; @@ -215,17 +216,17 @@ static int phantom_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) struct phantom_device *dev = container_of(inode->i_cdev, struct phantom_device, cdev); - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&phantom_mutex); nonseekable_open(inode, file); if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&dev->open_lock)) { - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&phantom_mutex); return -ERESTARTSYS; } if (dev->opened) { mutex_unlock(&dev->open_lock); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&phantom_mutex); return -EINVAL; } @@ -236,7 +237,7 @@ static int phantom_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) atomic_set(&dev->counter, 0); dev->opened++; mutex_unlock(&dev->open_lock); - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&phantom_mutex); return 0; } -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
