The drm drivers in this patch all used drm_ioctl to perform their
ioctl calls. The common function is converted to use lock_kernel()
and unlock_kernel() and the drivers are converted to use .unlocked_ioctl
Signed-off-by: Kevin Winchester <[email protected]>

I also noted that in the failed kmalloc case in drm_ioctl(), the function
immediately returns -ENOMEM, rather than following the error path that
calls atomic_dec(&dev->ioctl_count);. I'm not sure if the ioctl_count
is just not important in the -ENOMEM case, or if this is a bug.

NAK
I've started looking at this already in the drm git tree, I'm going to
provide both locked and unlocked paths for drivers to choose, as we need
to audit the drivers on a per-driver basis, the other option is to provide
wrappers in each driver to do the lock/unlock kernel and leave drm_ioctl
alone..
I'll take a look kmalloc failure case sounds like a bug though..

If you do that you'll exactly need Kevin's patch as a base.

Kevin's patch adds the lock/unlock to drm_ioctl which is exactly what I
don't want, I want to have drm_ioctl become drm_unlocked_ioctl, and
drm_ioctl to wrap it with the lock/unlocks, then the drivers can all
use unlocked_ioctl like Kevins patch pointing to drm_ioctl, and can
migrate over to drm_unlocked_ioctl post lock auditing, the new latest i915
driver seems to be fine with unlocked ioctls so far..
Yes I can use Kevin's patch as a base most likely, but it doesn't do what
I want yet, and I've already started to do it properly in the drm upstream
trees....
