Subject: [patch 7/7] um: Remove BKL from harddog
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:42:49 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091015083934.032160870@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20091015083906.716130653@linutronix.de
[-- Attachment #1: um-remove-bkl-from-harddog.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1996 bytes --]
It's safe to remove the BKL from harddog because:
- open() needs no serialization versus init
- open() is already serialized with a local lock
- ioctl() does not need BKL for put/copy_user
- ioctl() does not need BKL for pin_watchdog as it
simply writes to the fd which was created in open()
