There can't be races in the driver, since it contains a single thread that does all the IO it got from block layer. The thread is awaken each time the request function of block device is called. This why I didn't do much locking in here. In addition I found out that this is quite common way to implement a block device driver. > > > +/* Invalidate current register window*/ > > hm, checkpatch misses the missing space before */ > > > +static void msb_invalidate_reg_window(struct msb_data *msb) > > +{ > > + msb->reg_addr.w_offset = offsetof(struct ms_register, id); > > + msb->reg_addr.w_length = sizeof(struct ms_id_register); > > + msb->reg_addr.r_offset = offsetof(struct ms_register, id); > > + msb->reg_addr.r_length = sizeof(struct ms_id_register); > > + msb->addr_valid = false; > > +} > > + > > +/* Sane way to start a state machine*/ > > +static int msb_run_state_machine(struct msb_data *msb, int (*state_func) > > + (struct memstick_dev *card, struct memstick_request **req)) > > +{ > > + struct memstick_dev *card = msb->card; > > + > > + WARN_ON(msb->state != -1); > > + msb->int_polling = false; > > + msb->state = 0; > > + msb->exit_error = 0; > > + > > + memset(&card->current_mrq, 0, sizeof(card->current_mrq)); > > + > > + card->next_request = state_func; > > + memstick_new_req(card->host); > > + wait_for_completion(&card->mrq_complete); > > + > > + WARN_ON(msb->state != -1); > > + return msb->exit_error; > > +} > > + > > +/* State machines call that to exit */ > > +int msb_exit_state_machine(struct msb_data *msb, int error) > > static > > > +{ > > + WARN_ON(msb->state == -1); > > + > > + msb->state = -1; > > + msb->exit_error = error; > > + msb->card->next_request = h_msb_default_bad; > > + > > + /* Invalidate reg window on errors */ > > + if (error) > > + msb_invalidate_reg_window(msb); > > + > > + complete(&msb->card->mrq_complete); > > + return -ENXIO; > > +} > > + > > +/* read INT register */ > > +int msb_read_int_reg(struct msb_data *msb, long timeout) > > static > > > +{ > > + struct memstick_request *mrq = &msb->card->current_mrq; > > + WARN_ON(msb->state == -1); > > It's conventional to put a newline between end-of-locals and start-of-code. > > > + if (!msb->int_polling) { > > + msb->int_timeout = jiffies + > > + msecs_to_jiffies(timeout == -1 ? 500 : timeout); > > + msb->int_polling = true; > > + } else if (time_after(jiffies, msb->int_timeout)) { > > + mrq->data[0] = MEMSTICK_INT_CMDNAK; > > + return 0; > > + } > > + > > + if ((msb->caps & MEMSTICK_CAP_AUTO_GET_INT) && > > + mrq->need_card_int && !mrq->error) { > > + mrq->data[0] = mrq->int_reg; > > + mrq->need_card_int = false; > > + return 0; > > + } else { > > + memstick_init_req(mrq, MS_TPC_GET_INT, NULL, 1); > > + return 1; > > + } > > +} > > + > > +/* Read a register */ > > +int msb_read_regs(struct msb_data *msb, int offset, int len) > > static.

Should block_nr be a sector_t? Actually no, as its an index in internal array of 'boot blocks', aka superblocks and there should be just two of them msb_read_boot_blocks reads them. Each of boot blocks contains a pointer to bad blocks table. > > > > +{ > > + struct ms_boot_page *boot_block; > > + struct scatterlist sg; > > + u16 *buffer = NULL; > > + int offset = 0; > > + > > + int i, error = 0; > > + int data_size, data_offset, page, page_offset, size_to_read; > > + u16 pba; > > vertical whitespace oddness > > > + BUG_ON(block_nr > 1); > > + > > + boot_block = &msb->boot_page[block_nr]; > > + pba = msb->boot_block_locations[block_nr]; > > + > > > > ... > > > > +static int msb_cache_write(struct msb_data *msb, int lba, > > + int page, bool add_to_cache_only, struct scatterlist *sg, int offset) > > +{ > > + int error; > > + struct scatterlist sg_tmp[10]; > > newline.. > > > + if (msb->read_only) > > + return -EROFS; > > + > > + if (msb->cache_block_lba == MS_BLOCK_INVALID || > > + lba != msb->cache_block_lba) > > + if (add_to_cache_only) > > + return 0; > > + > > + /* If we need to write different block */ > > + if (msb->cache_block_lba != MS_BLOCK_INVALID && > > + lba != msb->cache_block_lba) { > > + dbg_verbose("first flush the cache"); > > + error = msb_cache_flush(msb); > > + if (error) > > + return error; > > + } > > + > > + if (msb->cache_block_lba == MS_BLOCK_INVALID) { > > + msb->cache_block_lba = lba; > > + mod_timer(&msb->cache_flush_timer, > > + jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(cache_flush_timeout)); > > + } > > + > > + dbg_verbose("Write of LBA %d page %d to cache ", lba, page); > > + > > + sg_init_table(sg_tmp, ARRAY_SIZE(sg_tmp)); > > + sg_copy(sg, sg_tmp, ARRAY_SIZE(sg_tmp), offset, msb->page_size); > > + > > + sg_copy_to_buffer(sg_tmp, sg_nents(sg_tmp), > > + msb->cache + page * msb->page_size, msb->page_size); > > + > > + set_bit(page, &msb->valid_cache_bitmap); > > + return 0; > > +} > > + > > > > ... > > > > +static int msb_do_write_request(struct msb_data *msb, int lba, > > + int page, struct scatterlist *sg, int len, int *sucessfuly_written) > > +{ > > + int error = 0; > > + int offset = 0; > > + *sucessfuly_written = 0; > > (more vertical whitespace glitches) > > Again the types look a bit wrong.

Sure! The things I didn't comment on I agree too, I will fix all these non-static functions and newlines. Newlines I put mostly to make the code a bit more clear to myself, but I really don't mind removing these. Thanks again for a review, I will address all the issues very soon. -- Best regards, Maxim Levitsky -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
