Find one fix-up and one opportunity for a follow on patch embedded below. alisons > > Signed-off-by: sayli karnik <karniksayli1995@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9834.c | 10 ++++++---- > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9834.c b/drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9834.c > index f92ff7f..4259474 100644 > --- a/drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9834.c > +++ b/drivers/staging/iio/frequency/ad9834.c > @@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ > * @msg: default spi message > * @freq_xfer: tuning word spi transfer > * @freq_msg: tuning word spi message > + * @lock: protect sensor state > * @data: spi transmit buffer > * @freq_data: tuning word spi transmit buffer > */ > @@ -77,6 +78,7 @@ struct ad9834_state { > struct spi_message msg; > struct spi_transfer freq_xfer[2]; > struct spi_message freq_msg; > + struct mutex lock; /* protect sensor state */ > > /* > * DMA (thus cache coherency maintenance) requires the > @@ -149,7 +151,7 @@ static ssize_t ad9834_write(struct device *dev, > if (ret) > goto error_ret; Not related to your patch...the above goto error_ret seems excessived. When you look down at error_ret, it's not doing any clean up. So, perhaps we can just return right here and get rid of the goto & label? > > - mutex_lock(&indio_dev->mlock); > + mutex_lock(&st->lock); > switch ((u32)this_attr->address) { > case AD9834_REG_FREQ0: > case AD9834_REG_FREQ1: > @@ -207,7 +209,7 @@ static ssize_t ad9834_write(struct device *dev, > default: > ret = -ENODEV; > } > - mutex_unlock(&indio_dev->mlock); > + mutex_unlock(&st->lock); > > error_ret: > return ret ? ret : len; > @@ -224,7 +226,7 @@ static ssize_t ad9834_store_wavetype(struct device *dev, > int ret = 0; > bool is_ad9833_7 = (st->devid == ID_AD9833) || (st->devid == ID_AD9837); > > - mutex_lock(&indio_dev->mlock); > + mutex_lock(&st->lock); > > switch ((u32)this_attr->address) { > case 0: > @@ -267,7 +269,7 @@ static ssize_t ad9834_store_wavetype(struct device *dev, > st->data = cpu_to_be16(AD9834_REG_CMD | st->control); > ret = spi_sync(st->spi, &st->msg); > } > - mutex_unlock(&indio_dev->mlock); > + mutex_lock(&st->lock); Needs to be mutex_unlock() > > return ret ? ret : len; > } > -- > 2.7.4 > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "outreachy-kernel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to outreachy-kernel+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. > To post to this group, send email to outreachy-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/outreachy-kernel/20170312115013.GA31878%40sayli-HP-15-Notebook-PC. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- 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
