Sounds more accurate, and I will change the title in next round, :-)

Well, the conversion to irqsave() is needed for the future drop of
irq_save() in the caller, right?  Then this isn't a cleanup but a
preparation for movement ahead.

OK, good to know.

Please use snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave() so that I can avoid sending
out similar patch later, :-)

OK, thanks for dealing with that.

It is a cleanup since the patchset only addresses lock problem which
is caused by the tasklet conversion.

Interrupt is't enabled until all current drivers are cleaned up, so it is really
safe, please see patch [2].

We discussed the problem in the below link previously[1], Steven
and Thomas suggested to use threaded irq handler, but which
may degrade USB mass storage performance, so we have to
take tasklet now until we rewrite transport part of USB mass storage
driver.

Also the conversion[2] has avoided the tasklet spin lock problem
already.

... actually this snd_pcm_stop() call should have been covered by
snd_pcm_stream_lock().  Maybe it'd be enough to have a single patch
together with the change, i.e. wrapping with
snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave().

I'll prepare the patch for 3.11 independently from your patch series,
so please drop this one.


BTW, the word "cleanup" in the subject is inappropriate.  This is
rather a fix together with the core change.

And, I wonder whether we can take a safer approach.  When the caller
condition changed, we often introduced either a different ops
(e.g. ioctl case) or a flag for the new condition, at least during the
transition period.

Last but not least, is a conversion to tasklet really preferred?
tasklet is rather an obsoleted infrastructure nowadays, and people
don't recommend to use it any longer, AFAIK.


thanks,

Takashi
