"use spin_lock_init instead of SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED"
i'm a bit confused with SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED removal I just did the below mentioned change but then came to know that spin_lock_init is defined as # define spin_lock_init(lock) \ do { *(lock) = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED; } while (0) so what difference does it make.. eventually replacing SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED with itself or is it just that this one [SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED] also needs to be replaced with __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED? after thought with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK does make a diff let me know if this is fine .. aerdrv.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c index db6ad8e..6846fb4 100644 --- a/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c +++ b/drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv.c @@ -157,7 +157,7 @@ static struct aer_rpc* aer_alloc_rpc(struct pcie_device *dev) * Initialize Root lock access, e_lock, to Root Error Status Reg, * Root Error ID Reg, and Root error producer/consumer index. */ - rpc->e_lock = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED; + spin_lock_init(&rpc->e_lock); rpc->rpd = dev; INIT_WORK(&rpc->dpc_handler, aer_isr); -- Milind Arun Choudhary - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
