    [media] uvc gadget: switch to v4l2 core locking · d8e96c4b
    Hans Verkuil authored
    Switch this driver over to the V4L2 core locking mechanism in preparation
    for switching to unlocked_ioctl. Suggested by Laurent Pinchart.
    
    This patch introduces a new mutex at the struct uvc_video level and
    drops the old mutex at the queue level. The new lock is now used for all
    ioctl locking and in the release file operation (the driver always has
    to take care of locking in file operations, the core only serializes
    ioctls).
    
    Note that the mmap and get_unmapped_area file operations no longer take
    a lock. Commit f035eb4e fixed a AB-BA
    deadlock by moving all the locking down into vb2, so the mmap and
    get_unmapped_area file operations should no longer do any locking before
    calling into vb2.
