+Subject: [PATCH] spi/mmc_spi: SPI bus locking API, using mutex
+
+SPI bus locking API to allow exclusive access to the SPI bus, especially, but
+not limited to, for the mmc_spi driver.
+
+Coded according to an outline from Grant Likely; here is his
+specification (accidentally swapped function names corrected):
+
+It requires 3 things to be added to struct spi_master.
+- 1 Mutex
+- 1 spin lock
+- 1 flag.
+
+The mutex protects spi_sync, and provides sleeping "for free"
+The spinlock protects the atomic spi_async call.
+The flag is set when the lock is obtained, and checked while holding
+the spinlock in spi_async(). If the flag is checked, then spi_async()
+must fail immediately.
+
+The current runtime API looks like this:
+spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*);
+spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*);
+
+The API needs to be extended to this:
+spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_bus_lock(struct spi_master*) /* although struct spi_device* might
+be easier */
+spi_bus_unlock(struct spi_master*)
+spi_async_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_sync_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+
+Drivers can only call the last two if they already hold the spi_master_lock().
+
+spi_bus_lock() obtains the mutex, obtains the spin lock, sets the
+flag, and releases the spin lock before returning. It doesn't even
+need to sleep while waiting for "in-flight" spi_transactions to
+complete because its purpose is to guarantee no additional
+transactions are added. It does not guarantee that the bus is idle.
+
+spi_bus_unlock() clears the flag and releases the mutex, which will
+wake up any waiters.
+
+The difference between spi_async() and spi_async_locked() is that the
+locked version bypasses the check of the lock flag. Both versions
+need to obtain the spinlock.
+
+The difference between spi_sync() and spi_sync_locked() is that
+spi_sync() must hold the mutex while enqueuing a new transfer.
+spi_sync_locked() doesn't because the mutex is already held. Note
+however that spi_sync must *not* continue to hold the mutex while
+waiting for the transfer to complete, otherwise only one transfer
+could be queued up at a time!
+
+Almost no code needs to be written. The current spi_async() and
+spi_sync() can probably be renamed to __spi_async() and __spi_sync()
+so that spi_async(), spi_sync(), spi_async_locked() and
+spi_sync_locked() can just become wrappers around the common code.
+
+spi_sync() is protected by a mutex because it can sleep
+spi_async() needs to be protected with a flag and a spinlock because
+it can be called atomically and must not sleep

+
+Modification of the mmc_spi driver to use the SPI bus locking API.
+With this, the mmc_spi driver can be used together with other SPI
+devices on the same SPI bus. The exclusive access to the SPI bus is
+now managed in the SPI layer. The counting of chip selects in the probe
+function is no longer needed.

+Subject: [PATCH] spi/mmc_spi: mmc_spi adaptations for SPI bus locking API
+
+Modification of the mmc_spi driver to use the SPI bus locking API.
+With this, the mmc_spi driver can be used together with other SPI
+devices on the same SPI bus. The exclusive access to the SPI bus is
+now managed in the SPI layer. The counting of chip selects in the probe
+function is no longer needed.

+Subject: [PATCH] spi/mmc_spi: SPI bus locking API, using mutex
+
+SPI bus locking API to allow exclusive access to the SPI bus, especially, but
+not limited to, for the mmc_spi driver.
+
+Coded according to an outline from Grant Likely; here is his
+specification (accidentally swapped function names corrected):
+
+It requires 3 things to be added to struct spi_master.
+- 1 Mutex
+- 1 spin lock
+- 1 flag.
+
+The mutex protects spi_sync, and provides sleeping "for free"
+The spinlock protects the atomic spi_async call.
+The flag is set when the lock is obtained, and checked while holding
+the spinlock in spi_async(). If the flag is checked, then spi_async()
+must fail immediately.
+
+The current runtime API looks like this:
+spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*);
+spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*);
+
+The API needs to be extended to this:
+spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_bus_lock(struct spi_master*) /* although struct spi_device* might
+be easier */
+spi_bus_unlock(struct spi_master*)
+spi_async_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_sync_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+
+Drivers can only call the last two if they already hold the spi_master_lock().
+
+spi_bus_lock() obtains the mutex, obtains the spin lock, sets the
+flag, and releases the spin lock before returning. It doesn't even
+need to sleep while waiting for "in-flight" spi_transactions to
+complete because its purpose is to guarantee no additional
+transactions are added. It does not guarantee that the bus is idle.
+
+spi_bus_unlock() clears the flag and releases the mutex, which will
+wake up any waiters.
+
+The difference between spi_async() and spi_async_locked() is that the
+locked version bypasses the check of the lock flag. Both versions
+need to obtain the spinlock.
+
+The difference between spi_sync() and spi_sync_locked() is that
+spi_sync() must hold the mutex while enqueuing a new transfer.
+spi_sync_locked() doesn't because the mutex is already held. Note
+however that spi_sync must *not* continue to hold the mutex while
+waiting for the transfer to complete, otherwise only one transfer
+could be queued up at a time!
+
+Almost no code needs to be written. The current spi_async() and
+spi_sync() can probably be renamed to __spi_async() and __spi_sync()
+so that spi_async(), spi_sync(), spi_async_locked() and
+spi_sync_locked() can just become wrappers around the common code.
+
+spi_sync() is protected by a mutex because it can sleep
+spi_async() needs to be protected with a flag and a spinlock because
+it can be called atomically and must not sleep

+Subject: [PATCH] spi/mmc_spi: mmc_spi adaptations for SPI bus locking API
+
+Modification of the mmc_spi driver to use the SPI bus locking API.
+With this, the mmc_spi driver can be used together with other SPI
+devices on the same SPI bus. The exclusive access to the SPI bus is
+now managed in the SPI layer. The counting of chip selects in the probe
+function is no longer needed.

+Subject: [PATCH] spi/mmc_spi: SPI bus locking API, using mutex
+
+SPI bus locking API to allow exclusive access to the SPI bus, especially, but
+not limited to, for the mmc_spi driver.
+
+Coded according to an outline from Grant Likely; here is his
+specification (accidentally swapped function names corrected):
+
+It requires 3 things to be added to struct spi_master.
+- 1 Mutex
+- 1 spin lock
+- 1 flag.
+
+The mutex protects spi_sync, and provides sleeping "for free"
+The spinlock protects the atomic spi_async call.
+The flag is set when the lock is obtained, and checked while holding
+the spinlock in spi_async(). If the flag is checked, then spi_async()
+must fail immediately.
+
+The current runtime API looks like this:
+spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*);
+spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*);
+
+The API needs to be extended to this:
+spi_async(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_sync(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_bus_lock(struct spi_master*) /* although struct spi_device* might
+be easier */
+spi_bus_unlock(struct spi_master*)
+spi_async_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+spi_sync_locked(struct spi_device*, struct spi_message*)
+
+Drivers can only call the last two if they already hold the spi_master_lock().
+
+spi_bus_lock() obtains the mutex, obtains the spin lock, sets the
+flag, and releases the spin lock before returning. It doesn't even
+need to sleep while waiting for "in-flight" spi_transactions to
+complete because its purpose is to guarantee no additional
+transactions are added. It does not guarantee that the bus is idle.
+
+spi_bus_unlock() clears the flag and releases the mutex, which will
+wake up any waiters.
+
+The difference between spi_async() and spi_async_locked() is that the
+locked version bypasses the check of the lock flag. Both versions
+need to obtain the spinlock.
+
+The difference between spi_sync() and spi_sync_locked() is that
+spi_sync() must hold the mutex while enqueuing a new transfer.
+spi_sync_locked() doesn't because the mutex is already held. Note
+however that spi_sync must *not* continue to hold the mutex while
+waiting for the transfer to complete, otherwise only one transfer
+could be queued up at a time!
+
+Almost no code needs to be written. The current spi_async() and
+spi_sync() can probably be renamed to __spi_async() and __spi_sync()
+so that spi_async(), spi_sync(), spi_async_locked() and
+spi_sync_locked() can just become wrappers around the common code.
+
+spi_sync() is protected by a mutex because it can sleep
+spi_async() needs to be protected with a flag and a spinlock because
+it can be called atomically and must not sleep

+Subject: [PATCH] spi/mmc_spi: mmc_spi adaptations for SPI bus locking API
+
+Modification of the mmc_spi driver to use the SPI bus locking API.
+With this, the mmc_spi driver can be used together with other SPI
+devices on the same SPI bus. The exclusive access to the SPI bus is
+now managed in the SPI layer. The counting of chip selects in the probe
+function is no longer needed.
