Since there are sleeping functions called outside of the locked sections, this should be a mutex instead.

It's possible to use mutex instead of spinlock here, but it doesn't bring any benefits because mutex is more useful when protected code could block for a long time due to sleep or whatever, while spinlock is much more efficient when protected code doesn't sleep and takes no more than dozens microseconds to execute (which is the case here). In this particular case of the Tegra USB PHY driver, the chance of getting a block on taking the utmip_pad_lock is zero unless USB controller drivers will start to use asynchronous probing. So this patch does a very minor clean-up change and nothing more.

I was concerned that this change allows the kernel to switch away to another task, but I can see now that spin_lock() does disable preemtion. So it looks OK after all. Would be nice to see the explanation in the commit message (that the spinlock is only used to serialize probe()s). Best Regards, Michał Mirosław

There is no good reason for disabling of CPU interrupts in order to protect the utmip_pad_count modification. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Osipenko <digetx@gmail.com> --- drivers/usb/phy/phy-tegra-usb.c | 10 ++++------ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
