5 This document explains locking mechanism of the SoundWire Bus. Bus uses
6 following locks in order to avoid race conditions in Bus operations on
7 shared resources.
8
9   - Bus lock
10
11   - Message lock
12
13 Bus lock
14 ========
15
16 SoundWire Bus lock is a mutex and is part of Bus data structure
17 (sdw_bus) which is used for every Bus instance. This lock is used to
18 serialize each of the following operations(s) within SoundWire Bus instance.
19
20   - Addition and removal of Slave(s), changing Slave status.
21
22   - Prepare, Enable, Disable and De-prepare stream operations.
23
24   - Access of Stream data structure.
25
26 Message lock
27 ============
28
29 SoundWire message transfer lock. This mutex is part of
30 Bus data structure (sdw_bus). This lock is used to serialize the message
31 transfers (read/write) within a SoundWire Bus instance.
32
33 Below examples show how locks are acquired.

35 Example 1
36 ---------
37
38 Message transfer.
39
40   1. For every message transfer
41
42      a. Acquire Message lock.
43
44      b. Transfer message (Read/Write) to Slave1 or broadcast message on
45         Bus in case of bank switch.
46
47      c. Release Message lock
