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/lp.c | 15 ++++++++------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/char/lp.c') diff --git a/drivers/char/lp.c b/drivers/char/lp.c index 938a3a27388..598d278db05 100644 --- a/drivers/char/lp.c +++ b/drivers/char/lp.c @@ -126,7 +126,7 @@ #include #include #include -#include +#include #include #include @@ -140,6 +140,7 @@ /* if you have more than 8 printers, remember to increase LP_NO */ #define LP_NO 8 +static DEFINE_MUTEX(lp_mutex); static struct lp_struct lp_table[LP_NO]; static unsigned int lp_count = 0; @@ -493,7 +494,7 @@ static int lp_open(struct inode * inode, struct file * file) unsigned int minor = iminor(inode); int ret = 0; - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&lp_mutex); if (minor >= LP_NO) { ret = -ENXIO; goto out; @@ -554,7 +555,7 @@ static int lp_open(struct inode * inode, struct file * file) lp_release_parport (&lp_table[minor]); lp_table[minor].current_mode = IEEE1284_MODE_COMPAT; out: - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&lp_mutex); return ret; } @@ -680,7 +681,7 @@ static long lp_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, int ret; minor = iminor(file->f_path.dentry->d_inode); - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&lp_mutex); switch (cmd) { case LPSETTIMEOUT: if (copy_from_user(&par_timeout, (void __user *)arg, @@ -694,7 +695,7 @@ static long lp_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, ret = lp_do_ioctl(minor, cmd, arg, (void __user *)arg); break; } - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&lp_mutex); return ret; } @@ -709,7 +710,7 @@ static long lp_compat_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, int ret; minor = iminor(file->f_path.dentry->d_inode); - lock_kernel(); + mutex_lock(&lp_mutex); switch (cmd) { case LPSETTIMEOUT: tc = compat_ptr(arg); @@ -730,7 +731,7 @@ static long lp_compat_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, ret = lp_do_ioctl(minor, cmd, arg, compat_ptr(arg)); break; } - unlock_kernel(); + mutex_unlock(&lp_mutex); return ret; } -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
