| H A D | run.c | f5ed0eb6 Wed Oct 15 18:03:46 CDT 2008 Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> powerpc/spufs: Use state_mutex for switch_log locking, and prevent multiple openers
Currently, we use ctx->mapping_lock and ctx->switch_log->lock for the
context switch log. The mapping lock only prevents concurrent open()s,
so we require the switch_lock->lock for reads.
Since writes to the switch log buffer occur on context switches, we're
better off synchronising with the state_mutex, which is held during a
switch. Since we're serialised througout the buffer reads and writes,
we can use the state mutex to protect open and release too, and
can now kfree() the log buffer on release. This allows us to perform
the switch log notify without taking any extra locks.
Because the buffer is only present while the file is open, we can use
it to prevent multiple simultaneous openers.
