Ideally, it depends on the platform you are working. You need to discuss with them for the correct approach. For Qualcomm they have some hardware caled as RPU(Register protection unit). They have systems calls exposed for using them. You can associtate it to the register you want protection. I dont

Hi Valdis, Thank you for the reply. I am not talking about all the variables. i am talking about variables which are declared as module_param. These variables can anyways be changed from shell prompt using echo and cat like i mentioned in the desciption. SO i was hoping i can do it from drivers asw

Hi Luca The locking mechanism to be used depends on what your piece of code does and where your code runs. If your code runs in a interrupt context (inside an interrupt handler), you should use a spinlock (with irq save and restore). Else you can use mutex or a semaphore. In either cases, y

Best practice to lock a read/write to a HW register

2013-11-14 Thread Luca Ellero
Hi all, can someone please show me which is the best practice to lock a read/write to a hardware register. In other words if, in a driver, I want to modify a bit in a HW register, I have to read the register, set/reset the relevant bit and write back the reg. But what can I do to be sure that no ot

Linux Kernel - Modifying a module_param variable from other drivers

2013-11-14 Thread manty kuma
Dear all, I see that when we declare a variable as module_param from a driver, i can see it listed in "/sys/module/xxx/parameters/...". Ex : /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend we can modify and read it with echo and cat commands from terminal. But is there a way i can read this value fr
