Subject: lock validator: drivers/block/floppy.c fixes
From: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
The lock validator triggered a number of bugs in the floppy driver, all
related to the floppy driver allocating and freeing irq and dma
resources from interrupt context. The initial solution was to use
schedule_work() to push this into process context, but this caused
further problems: for example the current floppy driver in -mm2 is
totally broken and all floppy commands time out with an error. (as
reported by Barry K. Nathan)
This patch tries another solution: simply get rid of all that dynamic
IRQ and DMA allocation/freeing. I doubt it made much sense back in the
heydays of floppies (if two devices raced for DMA or IRQ resources then
we didnt handle those cases too gracefully anyway), and today it makes
near zero sense.
So the new code does the simplest and most straightforward thing:
allocate IRQ and DMA resources at module init time, and free them at
module removal time. Dont try to release while the driver is
operational. This, besides making the floppy driver functional again has
an added bonus, floppy IRQ stats are finally persistent and visible in
/proc/interrupts:
6: 63 XT-PIC-level floppy
Besides normal floppy IO i have also tested IO error handling, motor-off
timeouts, etc. - and everything seems to be working fine.
