This file explains the locking and exclusion scheme used in the PCCARD
|
||||
and PCMCIA subsystems.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A) Overview, Locking Hierarchy:
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
pcmcia_socket_list_rwsem - protects only the list of sockets
|
||||
- skt_mutex - serializes card insert / ejection
|
||||
- ops_mutex - serializes socket operation
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
B) Exclusion
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
The following functions and callbacks to struct pcmcia_socket must
|
||||
be called with "skt_mutex" held:
|
||||
|
||||
socket_detect_change()
|
||||
send_event()
|
||||
socket_reset()
|
||||
socket_shutdown()
|
||||
socket_setup()
|
||||
socket_remove()
|
||||
socket_insert()
|
||||
socket_early_resume()
|
||||
socket_late_resume()
|
||||
socket_resume()
|
||||
socket_suspend()
|
||||
|
||||
struct pcmcia_callback *callback
|
||||
|
||||
The following functions and callbacks to struct pcmcia_socket must
|
||||
be called with "ops_mutex" held:
|
||||
|
||||
socket_reset()
|
||||
socket_setup()
|
||||
|
||||
struct pccard_operations *ops
|
||||
|
||||
Note that send_event() and struct pcmcia_callback *callback must not be
|
||||
called with "ops_mutex" held.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
C) Protection
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
1. Global Data:
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
struct list_head pcmcia_socket_list;
|
||||
|
||||
protected by pcmcia_socket_list_rwsem;
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Per-Socket Data:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
The resource_ops are on their own to provide proper locking.
|
||||
|
||||
The "main" struct pcmcia_socket is protected as follows (read-only fields
|
||||
or single-use fields not mentioned):
|
||||
|
||||
- by pcmcia_socket_list_rwsem:
|
||||
struct list_head socket_list;
|
||||
|
||||
- by thread_lock:
|
||||
unsigned int thread_events;
|
||||
|
||||
- by skt_mutex:
|
||||
u_int suspended_state;
|
||||
void (*tune_bridge);
|
||||
struct pcmcia_callback *callback;
|
||||
int resume_status;
|
||||
|
||||
- by ops_mutex:
|
||||
socket_state_t socket;
|
||||
u_int state;
|
||||
u_short lock_count;
|
||||
pccard_mem_map cis_mem;
|
||||
void __iomem *cis_virt;
|
||||
struct { } irq;
|
||||
io_window_t io[];
|
||||
pccard_mem_map win[];
|
||||
struct list_head cis_cache;
|
||||
size_t fake_cis_len;
|
||||
u8 *fake_cis;
|
||||
u_int irq_mask;
|
||||
void (*zoom_video);
|
||||
int (*power_hook);
|
||||
u8 resource...;
|
||||
struct list_head devices_list;
|
||||
u8 device_count;
|
||||
struct pcmcia_state;
