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/crystalhd/crystalhd_lnx.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/staging/crystalhd') diff --git a/drivers/staging/crystalhd/crystalhd_lnx.c b/drivers/staging/crystalhd/crystalhd_lnx.c index 60839690beee..fbb80f09a3d9 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/crystalhd/crystalhd_lnx.c +++ b/drivers/staging/crystalhd/crystalhd_lnx.c @@ -15,11 +15,12 @@ along with this driver.
