[PATCH 00/18] dev->struct_mutex crusade

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I wanted to take another look at struct_mutex usage in modern (gem) drivers and
noticed that for a fair lot we're very to be completely struct_mutex free.

This pile here is the the simple part, which mostly just removes code and
mutex_lock/unlock calls. All the patches here are independent and can be merged
in any order whatsoever. My plan is to send out a pull request for all those not
picked up by driver maintainers in 2-3 weeks or so, assuming no one complains.

Of course review & comments still very much welcome.

The more tricky 2nd part of this (and that one's not yet done) is to rework the
gem mmap handler to use the same kref_get_unless_zero trick as ttm. With that
there's no core requirement to hold struct_mutex over the final unref, which
means we can make that one lockless. I plan to add a gem_object_free_unlocked
for all the drivers which don't have any need for this lock.

Also there's a few more drivers which can be made struct_mutex free easily, I'll
propably stitch together poc patches for those.

Cheers, Daniel
