Resending the hwspinlock patch Simon Que sent few days ago by splitting the patch into logical pieces. The first 4 patches are based on Simon's patch. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/110672/ The 5th patch is a new patch to address race condition issue with I2C driver usage. Created driver for OMAP hardware spinlock. This driver supports: - Reserved spinlocks for internal use - Dynamic allocation of unreserved locks - Lock, unlock, and trylock functions, with or without disabling irqs/preempt - Registered as a platform device driver The device initialization uses hwmod to configure the devices. One device will be created for each IP. It will pass spinlock register offset info to the driver. The device initialization file is: arch/arm/mach-omap2/hwspinlocks.c The driver takes in register offset info passed in device initialization. It uses hwmod to obtain the base address of the hardware spinlock module. Then it reads info from the registers. The function hwspinlock_probe() initializes the array of spinlock structures, each containing a spinlock register address calculated from the base address and lock offsets. The device driver file is: arch/arm/plat-omap/hwspinlock.c Here's an API summary: int hwspinlock_lock(struct hwspinlock *); Attempt to lock a hardware spinlock. If it is busy, the function will keep trying until it succeeds. This is a blocking function. int hwspinlock_trylock(struct hwspinlock *); Attempt to lock a hardware spinlock. If it is busy, the function will return BUSY. If it succeeds in locking, the function will return ACQUIRED. This is a non-blocking function. int hwspinlock_unlock(struct hwspinlock *); Unlock a hardware spinlock. struct hwspinlock *hwspinlock_request(void); Provides for "dynamic allocation" of a hardware spinlock. It returns the handle to the next available (unallocated) spinlock. If no more locks are available, it returns NULL. struct hwspinlock *hwspinlock_request_specific(unsigned int); Provides for "static allocation" of a specific hardware spinlock. This allows the system to use a specific spinlock, identified by an ID. If the ID is invalid or if the desired lock is already allocated, this will return NULL. Otherwise it returns a spinlock handle. int hwspinlock_free(struct hwspinlock *); Frees an allocated hardware spinlock (either reserved or unreserved).
