[PATCH 19/27] coresight: tmc: getting rid of multiple read access

From: Mathieu Poirier
Date: Tue May 03 2016 - 13:34:46 EST


Allowing multiple readers to access the trace data simultaniously
via sysFS provides no shortage of opportunity for race condition,
mandates two variable to be maintained (drvdata::read_count and
drvdata::reading), makes the code complex and provide little
advantages, if any.

This patch streamlines the read process by restricting trace data
access to a single user. That way drvdata::read_count can
be eliminated and race conditions (along with faulty error handling)
in function tmc_open() and tmc_release() eliminated.
