Hi Jean, Jean Delvare said the following: ... >> if (adapter->algo->smbus_xfer) { >> - rt_mutex_lock(&adapter->bus_lock); >> + i2c_mux_tree_lock(adapter); >> >> /* Retry automatically on arbitration loss */ >> orig_jiffies = jiffies; >> @@ -1871,7 +1950,7 @@ s32 i2c_smbus_xfer(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, u16 addr, unsigned short flags, >> orig_jiffies + adapter->timeout)) >> break; >> } >> - rt_mutex_unlock(&adapter->bus_lock); >> + i2c_mux_tree_unlock(adapter); >> } else >> res = i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated(adapter,addr,flags,read_write, >> command, protocol, data); > > I'm worried that this approach is risky.

Let's just > update the current public API to be mux-aware, and use that everywhere. Agree, but I'd vote to do it not inline as its now.

We have enough duplicate code in i2c-dev.c already :( Must this and the above be done in an extra patch or can it be mixed into this mux patch? -- KR Michael -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
