Let me know if you agree with the change. ######### [PATCH] omap: mailbox: rwlocks to spinlock: compilation fix fixed the missed rwlocks in few places resultion in following compiler warning. arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c: In function 'omap_mbox_startup': arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c:246: warning: passing argument 1 of '_raw_write_lock' from incompatible pointer type arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c:251: warning: passing argument 1 of '_raw_write_unlock' from incompatible pointer type arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c:255: warning: passing argument 1 of '_raw_write_unlock' from incompatible pointer type arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c: In function 'omap_mbox_fini': arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c:301: warning: passing argument 1 of '_raw_write_lock' from incompatible pointer type arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c:306: warning: passing argument 1 of '_raw_write_unlock' from incompatible pointer type Signed-off-by: Hari Kanigeri <h-kanigeri2@xxxxxx> --- arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c | 10 +++++----- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c b/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c index 27a8d98..d6a700d 100644 --- a/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c +++ b/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c @@ -243,16 +243,16 @@ static int omap_mbox_startup(struct omap_mbox *mbox) struct omap_mbox_queue *mq; if (likely(mbox->ops->startup)) { - write_lock(&mboxes_lock); + spin_lock(&mboxes_lock); if (!mbox_configured) ret = mbox->ops->startup(mbox); if (unlikely(ret)) { - write_unlock(&mboxes_lock); + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); return ret; } mbox_configured++; - write_unlock(&mboxes_lock); + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); } ret = request_irq(mbox->irq, mbox_interrupt, IRQF_SHARED, @@ -298,12 +298,12 @@ static void omap_mbox_fini(struct omap_mbox *mbox) free_irq(mbox->irq, mbox); if (likely(mbox->ops->shutdown)) { - write_lock(&mboxes_lock); + spin_lock(&mboxes_lock); if (mbox_configured > 0) mbox_configured--; if (!mbox_configured) mbox->ops->shutdown(mbox); - write_unlock(&mboxes_lock); + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); } } -- ################ > -----Original Message----- > From: Ohad Ben-Cohen [mailto:ohad@xxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 12:56 PM > To: linux-omap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: Kanigeri, Hari; Hiroshi Doyu; Ohad Ben-Cohen > Subject: [PATCH 1/4] omap: mailbox cleanup: convert rwlocks > to spinlock > > rwlocks are slower and have potential starvation issues so > spinlocks are generally preferred > > Signed-off-by: Ohad Ben-Cohen <ohad@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c | 20 ++++++++++---------- > 1 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c > b/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c index 08a2df7..d73d51a 100644 > --- a/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c > +++ b/arch/arm/plat-omap/mailbox.c > @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ > > static struct workqueue_struct *mboxd; > static struct omap_mbox *mboxes; > -static DEFINE_RWLOCK(mboxes_lock); > +static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(mboxes_lock); > > static int mbox_configured; > > @@ -330,14 +330,14 @@ struct omap_mbox *omap_mbox_get(const > char *name) > struct omap_mbox *mbox; > int ret; > > - read_lock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_lock(&mboxes_lock); > mbox = *(find_mboxes(name)); > if (mbox == NULL) { > - read_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > return ERR_PTR(-ENOENT); > } > > - read_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > > ret = omap_mbox_startup(mbox); > if (ret) > @@ -363,15 +363,15 @@ int omap_mbox_register(struct device > *parent, struct omap_mbox *mbox) > if (mbox->next) > return -EBUSY; > > - write_lock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_lock(&mboxes_lock); > tmp = find_mboxes(mbox->name); > if (*tmp) { > ret = -EBUSY; > - write_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > goto err_find; > } > *tmp = mbox; > - write_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > > return 0; > > @@ -384,18 +384,18 @@ int omap_mbox_unregister(struct > omap_mbox *mbox) { > struct omap_mbox **tmp; > > - write_lock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_lock(&mboxes_lock); > tmp = &mboxes; > while (*tmp) { > if (mbox == *tmp) { > *tmp = mbox->next; > mbox->next = NULL; > - write_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > return 0; > } > tmp = &(*tmp)->next; > } > - write_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > + spin_unlock(&mboxes_lock); > > return -EINVAL; > } > -- > 1.6.3.3 > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
