ovl->enable/disable are meant to be synchronous so that they can handle the configuration of fifo sizes. The current kernel doesn't configure fifo sizes yet, and so the code doesn't need to block to function (from omapdss driver's perspective). However, for the users of omapdss a non-blocking ovl->disable is confusing, because they don't know when the memory area is not used any more. Furthermore, when the fifo size configuration is added in the next merge window, the change from non-blocking to blocking could cause side effects to the users of omapdss. So by making the functions block already will keep them behaving in the same manner. And, while not the main purpose of this patch, this will also remove the compile warning: drivers/video/omap2/dss/apply.c:350: warning: 'wait_pending_extra_info_updates' defined but not used Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@xxxxxx> --- drivers/video/omap2/dss/apply.c | 6 ++++++ 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/video/omap2/dss/apply.c b/drivers/video/omap2/dss/apply.c index 052dc87..87b3e25 100644 --- a/drivers/video/omap2/dss/apply.c +++ b/drivers/video/omap2/dss/apply.c @@ -1276,6 +1276,9 @@ int dss_ovl_enable(struct omap_overlay *ovl) spin_unlock_irqrestore(&data_lock, flags); + /* wait for overlay to be enabled */ + wait_pending_extra_info_updates(); + mutex_unlock(&apply_lock); return 0; @@ -1313,6 +1316,9 @@ int dss_ovl_disable(struct omap_overlay *ovl) spin_unlock_irqrestore(&data_lock, flags); + /* wait for the overlay to be disabled */ + wait_pending_extra_info_updates(); + mutex_unlock(&apply_lock); return 0; -- 1.7.4.1 -- 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
