[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/7] ALSA: Refactoring PCM locking code

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

this is a patch set to refactor the PCM locking code and to reduce the
global lock.  At least, this gets rid of the global rwlock, while the
global rwsem is still needed for some non-atomic ops and for avoiding
the deadlock at linking.
