From 621e59a771f310358ade8f14cb745d5d5f1c410e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 22:11:12 -0700 Subject: docbook: make kernel-locking table readable Andi Kleen pointed out to me that the kernel locking cheat sheet table entries are unreadable. Make table entries smaller so that pdf and ps output is readable (columns were being overwritten and garbled) by using abbreviations. This allows the tables to fit on one page cleanly. Add a Legend for the abbreviations: SLIS: spin_lock_irqsave SLI: spin_lock_irq SL: spin_lock SLBH: spin_lock_bh DI: down_interruptible Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl | 123 +++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 78 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl') diff --git a/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl b/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl index 644c3884fab9..0a441f73261a 100644 --- a/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl +++ b/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl @@ -551,10 +551,12 @@ spin_lock_irqsave(), which is a superset of all other spinlock primitives. + Table of Locking Requirements + IRQ Handler A @@ -576,97 +578,128 @@ IRQ Handler B -spin_lock_irqsave +SLIS None Softirq A -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock +SLI +SLI +SL Softirq B -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock -spin_lock +SLI +SLI +SL +SL Tasklet A -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock -spin_lock +SLI +SLI +SL +SL None Tasklet B -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock -spin_lock -spin_lock +SLI +SLI +SL +SL +SL None Timer A -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock -spin_lock -spin_lock -spin_lock +SLI +SLI +SL +SL +SL +SL None Timer B -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock -spin_lock -spin_lock -spin_lock -spin_lock +SLI +SLI +SL +SL +SL +SL +SL None User Context A -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock_irq -spin_lock_bh -spin_lock_bh -spin_lock_bh -spin_lock_bh -spin_lock_bh -spin_lock_bh +SLI +SLI +SLBH +SLBH +SLBH +SLBH +SLBH +SLBH None User Context B +SLI +SLI +SLBH +SLBH +SLBH +SLBH +SLBH +SLBH +DI +None + + + + +
