[alsa-devel] [PATCH 3/3] sound: push BKL into open functions

Arnd Bergmann arnd at arndb.de
Sun Jul 11 12:16:36 CEST 2010


This moves the lock_kernel() call from soundcore_open
to the individual OSS device drivers, where we can deal
with it one driver at a time if needed, or just kill
off the drivers.

All core components in ALSA already provide
adequate locking in their open()-functions
and do not require the big kernel lock, so
there is no need to add the BKL there.

Sorry, I had removed them and then forgot the git-add before
creating the emails. Originally, I had two patches, one for
pushing down the BKL into every sound driver (hence the goto)
and a second patch to remove the BKL again from all the native
alsa drivers. If you prefer, I can also give you the separate
patches, but I figured that since none of the ALSA drivers needs
the BKL, the combined patch would be better.

This is the corrected combined version.
