The ioctl serialization mutex (vdev->lock or q->lock for vb2 queues) was taken at the highest level in v4l2-dev.c. This prevents more fine-grained locking since at that level we cannot examine the ioctl arguments, we can only do that after video_usercopy is called. So push the locking down to __video_do_ioctl() and subdev_do_ioctl_lock(). This also allows us to make a few functions in v4l2-ioctl.c static and video_usercopy() is no longer exported. The locking scheme is not changed by this patch, just pushed down. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hansverk@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
