From 0e02dcae1ce238a2afda25da8cfd829c540088bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Abbott Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014 12:02:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] staging: comedi: allow COMEDI_BUFINFO, COMEDI_CANCEL and COMEDI_POLL on locked subdevice Comedi subdevices can be locked for mostly exclusive access by a particular file object by means of the COMEDI_LOCK ioctl. Some operations disregard the lock. For example, the read() and write() file operations are allowed for the file object that set up an asynchronous command on the subdevice (making it "busy") regardless of whether it is locked. The COMEDI_BUFINFO, COMEDI_CANCEL and COMEDI_POLL ioctls are also associated with the file object that made the subdevice "busy" with a command. They currently obey the exclusive access lock on the subdevice as well, but it makes more sense for them to ignore it like the read() and write() file operations. Remove the exclusive subdevice access checks for these ioctls.
