[RFC PATCH 1/8] vb2: push the mmap semaphore down to __buf_prepare()

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

 



From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>

Rather than taking the mmap semaphore at a relatively high-level function,
push it down to the place where it is really needed.

It was placed in vb2_queue_or_prepare_buf() to prevent racing with other
vb2 calls, however, I see no way that any race can happen.

Moving it down offers opportunities to simplify the code.
