Subject: [PATCH v3 00/10] BKL conversion in tty layer
Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 22:59:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273957196-13768-1-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)

This is the third attempt to get the BKL out of the
TTY code. This version goes much further than the
previous one, and eliminates most of the code I
had introduced there.
 
What remains of the series are changes to the existing
BKL usage in the TTY layer to avoid depending on
the autorelease-during-sleep or the recursive
behavior. The final patch simply adds the option
to replace the BKL with a plain mutex.

The series is available as a git tree in the bkl/tty branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground.git
There is also a bkl/tty-history branch with a much
more detailed series that I used to get to this point.
Both series are bisectable.

Arnd Bergmann (10):
  tty: replace BKL with a new tty_lock
  tty: never hold BTM while getting tty_mutex
  tty: fix console_sem lock order
  cdc-acm: remove dead code
  tty: introduce wait_event_interruptible_tty
  tty: annotate tty_write_lock
  tty: reorder ldisc locking
  tty: untangle locking of wait_until_sent
  tty: remove tty_lock_nested
  tty: implement BTM as mutex instead of BKL
