[PATCH] staging: comedi: allow COMEDI_BUFINFO, COMEDI_CANCEL and COMEDI_POLL on locked subdevice

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

 



Comedi subdevices can be locked for mostly exclusive access by a
particular file object by means of the COMEDI_LOCK ioctl.  Some
operations disregard the lock.  For example, the read() and write() file
operations are allowed for the file object that set up an asynchronous
command on the subdevice (making it "busy") regardless of whether it is
locked.

The COMEDI_BUFINFO, COMEDI_CANCEL and COMEDI_POLL ioctls are also
associated with the file object that made the subdevice "busy" with a
command.  They currently obey the exclusive access lock on the subdevice
as well, but it makes more sense for them to ignore it like the read()
and write() file operations.  Remove the exclusive subdevice access
checks for these ioctls.
