  • 2a48fc0ab   block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex ... Browse Code »

    The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
    calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
    were already using the BKL before.

    This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
    Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

    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

  • 8a6cfeb6d   block: push down BKL into .locked_ioctl ... Browse Code »

    As a preparation for the removal of the big kernel
    lock in the block layer, this removes the BKL
    from the common ioctl handling code, moving it
    into every single driver still using it.
