[PATCH] fbmem: copy_from/to_user() with mutex held (v2)

From: Andrea Righi
Date: Mon Jan 19 2009 - 06:04:35 EST


Avoid to call copy_from/to_user() with fb_info->lock mutex held in fbmem
ioctl().

fb_mmap() is called under mm->mmap_sem (A) held, that also acquires
fb_info->lock (B); fb_ioctl() takes fb_info->lock (B) and does
copy_from/to_user() that might acquire mm->mmap_sem (A), causing a
deadlock.

NOTE: it doesn't push down the fb_info->lock in each own driver's
fb_ioctl(), so there're still potential deadlocks somewhere.

ChangeLog (v1 -> v2):
* renamed get/put_fb_info() into lock/unlock_fb_info()
* lock/unlock_fb_info() return int instead of struct fb_info
* removed some useless memcpy()
