| |
Dear All,
I implemented the sample block driver for the removable devices and the code contains no statements related to the spin lock except a lock to the blk_init_queue API as shown below.
spinlock_t qlock; gDisk->blkqueue = blk_init_queue(do_my_request, &gDisk->qlock);
The kernel version is 2.6.10.
Everything works fine but when I try to copy a file of huge size (about 100MB), the following debug messages are getting displayed on the console:
Fc3: drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c: 2351: spin_lock already locked by the drivers. Fc3: drivers/block/ll_rw_blk.c: 2468: spin_unlock not locked by the drivers.
In spite of these debug messages; the file is getting copied successfully. I studied the Block driver 16th chapter in LDD third edition.
Can any one provide a pointer to these debug messages. Do I need to implement any patches for the kernel.
