[PATCH RFC 0/6] scsi: ufs: Start to make driver synchronization easier to understand

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

 



Hi

Driver synchronization would be easier to understand if we used the
clk_scaling_lock as the only lock to provide either shared (down/up_read)
or exclusive (down/up_write) access to the host.

These patches make changes with that in mind, finally resulting in being
able to hold the down_write() lock for the entire error handler duration.

If this approach is acceptable, it could be extended to simplify the
the synchronization of PM vs error handler and Shutdown vs sysfs.


Adrian Hunter (6):
      scsi: ufs: Encapsulate clk_scaling_lock by inline functions
      scsi: ufs: Rename clk_scaling_lock to host_rw_sem
      scsi: ufs: Let ufshcd_[down/up]_read be nested within ufshcd_[down/up]_write
      scsi: ufs: Fix a possible dead lock in clock scaling
      scsi: ufs: Reorder dev_cmd locking
      scsi: ufs: Hold ufshcd_down_write() lock for entire error handler duration
