[PATCH 0/4] *** rtl8192u: Replace semaphores with mutexes ***

[Binoy Jayan]

Hi,

These are a set of patches which removes semaphores from:

drivers/staging/rtl8192u

They build correctly (individually and as a whole).
NB: I have not tested this as I do not have the following hardware:

"RealTek RTL8192U Wireless LAN NIC driver"

Thanks,
Binoy

[PATCH 1/4] rtl8192u: r8192_priv: Replace semaphore wx_sem with mutex

[Binoy Jayan]

The semaphore 'wx_sem' in r8192_priv is a simple mutex, so
it should be written as one. Semaphores are going away in the future.

Patches 1-3 look good,

Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

I commented on patch 4, which is correct but I think it should be
done differently.

One more thing that might be helpful to note in the cover letter above
is that this is part of a bigger effort to eliminate all semaphores from
the kernel.

[PATCH v2 0/4] *** rtl8192u: Replace semaphores with mutexes ***

[Binoy Jayan]

Hi,

These are a set of patches [v2] which removes semaphores from:

drivers/staging/rtl8192u

These are part of a bigger effort to eliminate all semaphores 
from the linux kernel.

They build correctly (individually and as a whole).
NB: I have not tested this as I do not have the following hardware:

"RealTek RTL8192U Wireless LAN NIC driver"

Review comments w.r.t. PATCH v1:
  Changed the following patch (PATCH 4/4)
       rtl8192u: Replace semaphore rf_sem with mutex
  with
      rtl8192u: Remove unused semaphore rf_sem
  since 'rf_sem' has no users, removing it instead
  of replacing it with a mutex.

Thanks,
Binoy

The semaphore 'wx_sem' in r8192_priv is a simple mutex, so
it should be written as one. Semaphores are going away in the future.

[PATCH v2 3/4] rtl8192u: Replace semaphore scan_sem with mutex

[Binoy Jayan]

The semaphore 'scan_sem' in rtl8192u is a simple mutex, so it should
be written as one. Semaphores are going away in the future.

All look good now. Note about the 'Reviewed-by: ' reply I gave you.
When you resend a patch, you should pick up all the 'Reviewed-by',
'Acked-by', 'Tested-by', etc lines and add them to your 'Signed-off-by'
line in the patch, so that information doesn't get lost.

If you don't resend the patch but it gets picked up by the maintainer,
then the maintainer adds then while applying the patches.
