staging: comedi: use refcount while reading /proc/comedi

2013-11-12T00:16:44+00:00

In the seq_file 'show' handler for "/proc/comedi" - `comedi_read()` in
"comedi/proc.c",  call `comedi_dev_get_from_minor()` instead of
`comedi_dev_from_minor()` to increment the reference counter for the
`struct comedi_device` while it is being examined.  Call
`comedi_dev_put()` to decrement the reference afterwards.  Also acquire
the `attach_lock` rwsem while checking whether the device is attached.

staging: comedi: use a mutex when accessing driver list

2013-07-23T21:22:29+00:00

Low-level comedi drivers registered with the comedi core by
`comedi_driver_register()` are linked together into a simple linked list
headed by the `comedi_drivers` variable and chained by the `next` member
of `struct comedi_driver`.  A driver is removed from the list by
`comedi_driver_unregister()`.  The driver list is iterated through by
`comedi_device_attach()` when the `COMEDI_DEVCONFIG` ioctl is used to
attach a "legacy" device to a driver, and is also iterated through by
`comedi_read()` in "proc.c" when reading "/proc/comedi".

There is currently no protection against items being added or removed
from the list while it is being iterated.  Add a mutex
`comedi_drivers_list_lock` to be locked while adding or removing an item
on the list, or when iterating through the list.

`comedi_driver_unregister()` also checks for and detaches any devices
using the driver.  This is currently done before unlinking the driver
from the list, but it makes more sense to unlink the driver from the
list first to prevent `comedi_device_attach()` attempting to use it, so
move the unlinking part to the start of the function.  Also, in
`comedi_device_attach()` hold on to the mutex until we've finished
attempting to attach the device to avoid it interfering with the
detachment in `comedi_driver_unregister()`.

staging: comedi: remove FSF address from boilerplate text

2013-05-13T21:34:22+00:00

Addresses change...

Remove the paragraph with the FSF address from all the comedi source
files.

Also, remove the paragraph about the finding the complete GPL in the
COPYING file since it's unnecessary.

comedi: Don't use create_proc_read_entry()

2013-04-29T19:41:51+00:00

Don't use create_proc_read_entry() as that is deprecated, but rather use
proc_create_data() and seq_file instead.

staging: comedi: Makefile: conditionally compile multi-file core module

2013-01-07T22:51:11+00:00

Instead of using the #ifdef'ery in the comedi_compat32.c and proc.c
files to include/exclude them from the comedi core, modify the Makefile
to include those files automatically when enabled in the .config.

staging: comedi: use comedi_dev_from_minor()

2013-01-07T22:25:46+00:00

Remove the need to export comedi_get_device_file_info() by using the
new helper comedi_dev_from_minor(). This will also allow us to make
the comedi_device_file_info struct private.
