From: David Brownell Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:30:33 +0000 (-0700) Subject: rtc: remove BKL for ioctl() X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~618 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5ad31a575157147b43fa84ef1e21471661653878;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git rtc: remove BKL for ioctl() Remove implicit use of BKL in ioctl() from the RTC framework. Instead, the rtc->ops_lock is used. That's the same lock that already protects the RTC operations when they're issued through the exported rtc_*() calls in drivers/rtc/interface.c ... making this a bugfix, not just a cleanup, since both ioctl calls and set_alarm() need to update IRQ enable flags and that implies a common lock (which RTC drivers as a rule do not provide on their own). A new comment at the declaration of "struct rtc_class_ops" summarizes current locking rules. It's not clear to me that the exceptions listed there should exist ... if not, those are pre-existing problems which can be fixed in a patch that doesn't relate to BKL removal.
