[PATCH, RFC] v4l: kill the BKL

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

 



All of the hard problems for BKL removal appear to be solved in the
v4l-dvb/master tree. This removes the BKL from the various open
functions that do not need it, or only use it to protect an
open count.

The zoran driver is nontrivial in this regard, so I introduce
a new mutex that locks both the open/release and the ioctl
functions. Someone with access to the hardware can probably
improve that by using the existing lock in all cases.

Finally, all drivers that still use the locked version of the
ioctl function now get called under a new mutex instead of
the BKL.

Mauro, Hans,

Not sure if you were planning to do this in the merge window,
but it seems pointless to leave the BKL in V4L when it's so
easy to remove, especially after you've already done most
of the hard work.

This should not interfere with your effort to clean up the
rest of the locking, since the basic problem (locked ioctl)
is unchanged, it just replaces one global lock with another.
