The semaphore 'async_sem' is used as a simple mutex, so it should be written as one. Semaphores are going away in the future. Signed-off-by: Binoy Jayan <binoy.jayan@xxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is part of a bigger effort to eliminate unwanted semaphores from the linux kernel. drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c | 2 +- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.h | 2 +- drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c index 7ec06bf..9e0d638 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c @@ -3059,7 +3059,7 @@ struct wireless_dev *mwifiex_add_virtual_intf(struct wiphy *wiphy, INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&priv->dfs_chan_sw_work, mwifiex_dfs_chan_sw_work_queue); - sema_init(&priv->async_sem, 1); + mutex_init(&priv->async_mutex); mwifiex_dbg(adapter, INFO, "info: %s: Marvell 802.11 Adapter\n", dev->name); diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.h b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.h index bb2a467..9c2cb33 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.h +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/main.h @@ -628,7 +628,7 @@ struct mwifiex_private { struct dentry *dfs_dev_dir; #endif u16 current_key_index; - struct semaphore async_sem; + struct mutex async_mutex; struct cfg80211_scan_request *scan_request; u8 cfg_bssid[6]; struct wps wps; diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c index ce6936d..ae9630b 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c @@ -2809,7 +2809,7 @@ int mwifiex_request_scan(struct mwifiex_private *priv, { int ret; - if (down_interruptible(&priv->async_sem)) { + if (mutex_lock_interruptible(&priv->async_mutex)) { mwifiex_dbg(priv->adapter, ERROR, "%s: acquire semaphore fail\n", __func__); @@ -2825,7 +2825,7 @@ int mwifiex_request_scan(struct mwifiex_private *priv, /* Normal scan */ ret = mwifiex_scan_networks(priv, NULL); - up(&priv->async_sem); + mutex_unlock(&priv->async_mutex); return ret; } -- Binoy Jayan
