This patch series improves the ioctl handler in dell_smm_hwmon. The first patch is simplifying the ioctl handler by removing an unnecessary switch case, while the second patch is unifying both i8k_ioctl() and i8k_ioctl_unlocked(), resulting in better performance since i8k_mutex is only acquired when needed (during fan status change) instead of being acquired for every ioctl call. Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505. changes in v2: - simplify logic between mutex_lock()/_unlock() - replace hardcoded values with sizeof statements Armin Wolf (2): hwmon: (dell-smm) Simplify ioctl handler hwmon: (dell-smm) Unify i8k_ioctl() and i8k_ioctl_unlocked() drivers/hwmon/dell-smm-hwmon.c | 58 +++++++++++----------------------- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2
