Add additional examples in Documentation/spinlocks.txt
Checkpatch will throw an error if code doesn't use the correct initializers for static spinlocks: ERROR: Use of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated: see Documentation/spinlocks.txt This is fine, but Documentation/spinlocks.txt isn't very clear on how to _use_ the new initializers for static variables. To save people time in the future, I added two small examples of how to fix old-style static initializers to be more lockdep friendly.

@ -5,6 +5,28 @@ Please use DEFINE_SPINLOCK()/DEFINE_RWLOCK() or
|
|||
__SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED()/__RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED() as appropriate for static
|
||||
initialization.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the time, you can simply turn:
|
||||
|
||||
static spinlock_t xxx_lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
|
||||
|
||||
into:
|
||||
|
||||
static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(xxx_lock);
|
||||
|
||||
Static structure member variables go from:
|
||||
|
||||
struct foo bar {
|
||||
.lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
to:
|
||||
|
||||
struct foo bar {
|
||||
.lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(bar.lock);
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
Declaration of static rw_locks undergo a similar transformation.
|
||||
|
||||
Dynamic initialization, when necessary, may be performed as
|
||||
demonstrated below.
