From 5ad31a575157147b43fa84ef1e21471661653878 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:30:33 -0700 Subject: rtc: remove BKL for ioctl() Remove implicit use of BKL in ioctl() from the RTC framework. Instead, the rtc->ops_lock is used. That's the same lock that already protects the RTC operations when they're issued through the exported rtc_*() calls in drivers/rtc/interface.c ... making this a bugfix, not just a cleanup, since both ioctl calls and set_alarm() need to update IRQ enable flags and that implies a common lock (which RTC drivers as a rule do not provide on their own). A new comment at the declaration of "struct rtc_class_ops" summarizes current locking rules. It's not clear to me that the exceptions listed there should exist ... if not, those are pre-existing problems which can be fixed in a patch that doesn't relate to BKL removal.
