Main purpose of .nolock_start is we need to call some function without spinlock. OTOH we have .prepare which main purpose is called under atomic context. Then, it is called without spinlock. In summary, our main callback init/quit, and start/stop are called under "atomic context and with spinlock". And some function need to be called under "non-atomic context or without spinlock". Let's merge .nolock_start and prepare to be more clear code. Then, let's rename nolock_stop to cleanup Signed-off-by: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com> Tested-by: Hiroyuki Yokoyama <hiroyuki.yokoyama.vx@renesas.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
