Subject: [PATCH] usblcd: Push down BKL into driver
Date: Thu, 22 May 2008 22:07:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080522220751.599d73ee@core> (raw)

I'm pretty sure this can be eliminated however I couldn't prove (or find)
what stopped the device vanishing mid IOCTL_GET_HARD_VERSION. Perhaps a
USB wizard could double check that and see if the lock_kernel can go
entirely.
