======= Locking ======= 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 struct pccard_resource_ops *resource_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 and their data are protected by ops_mutex. 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; 3. Per PCMCIA-device Data: -------------------------- The "main" struct pcmcia_device is protected as follows (read-only fields or single-use fields not mentioned): - by pcmcia_socket->ops_mutex:: struct list_head socket_device_list; struct config_t *function_config; u16 _irq:1; u16 _io:1; u16 _win:4; u16 _locked:1; u16 allow_func_id_match:1; u16 suspended:1; u16 _removed:1; - by the PCMCIA driver:: io_req_t io; irq_req_t irq; config_req_t conf; window_handle_t win;
