The IIO subsystem is redefining iio_dev->mlock to be used by the IIO core only for protecting device operating mode changes. ie. Changes between INDIO_DIRECT_MODE, INDIO_BUFFER_* modes. In this driver, mlock was being used to protect hardware state changes. Replace it with a lock in the devices global data. Signed-off-by: Alison Schofield <amsfield22@xxxxxxxxx> --- Jonathan et al, If you still want to do this change, is it time to change the iio_dev->mlock comment back to [INTERN] in iio.h so that it doesn't get any new uses whilst we are migrating. Yes? I'd like to give this as a task to the outreachy applicants. There are ~70 mlock usages spread amongst ~15 iio drivers in staging. Are you ready for a wave of these? drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9832.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9832.c b/drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9832.c index 8d40c8e..c992648 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9832.c +++ b/drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9832.c @@ -84,6 +84,7 @@ * @freq_msg: tuning word spi message * @phase_xfer: tuning word spi transfer * @phase_msg: tuning word spi message + * @lock protect sensor state * @data: spi transmit buffer * @phase_data: tuning word spi transmit buffer * @freq_data: tuning word spi transmit buffer @@ -103,6 +104,7 @@ struct ad9832_state { struct spi_message freq_msg; struct spi_transfer phase_xfer[2]; struct spi_message phase_msg; + struct mutex lock; /* protect sensor state */ /* * DMA (thus cache coherency maintenance) requires the * transfer buffers to live in their own cache lines. @@ -177,7 +179,7 @@ static ssize_t ad9832_write(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, if (ret) goto error_ret; - mutex_lock(&indio_dev->mlock); + mutex_lock(&st->lock); switch ((u32)this_attr->address) { case AD9832_FREQ0HM: case AD9832_FREQ1HM: @@ -238,7 +240,7 @@ static ssize_t ad9832_write(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, default: ret = -ENODEV; } - mutex_unlock(&indio_dev->mlock); + mutex_unlock(&st->lock); error_ret: return ret ? ret : len; -- 2.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
