My God yes we want the brackets - Thank you Takashi!

Most of this function is protected by the sound_loader_lock. We can push down the BKL to this call out err = file->f_op->open(inode,file); Signed-off-by: John Kacur Acked-by: Alan Cox --- sound/sound_core.c | 10 ++++------ 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/sound/sound_core.c b/sound/sound_core.c index 49c9981..643a61f 100644 --- a/sound/sound_core.c +++ b/sound/sound_core.c @@ -576,8 +576,6 @@ static int soundcore_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) struct sound_unit *s; const struct file_operations *new_fops = NULL; - lock_kernel (); - chain=unit&0x0F; if(chain==4 || chain==5) /* dsp/audio/dsp16 */ { @@ -630,18 +628,18 @@ static int soundcore_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) const struct file_operations *old_fops = file->f_op; file->f_op = new_fops; spin_unlock(&sound_loader_lock); - if(file->f_op->open) + if(file->f_op->open) { + lock_kernel(); err = file->f_op->open(inode,file); - if (err) { + unlock_kernel(); + } if (err) { fops_put(file->f_op); file->f_op = fops_get(old_fops); } fops_put(old_fops); - unlock_kernel(); return err; } spin_unlock(&sound_loader_lock); - unlock_kernel(); return -ENODEV; } -- 1.6.0.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
