Subject: [PATCHv2] st: remove st_mutex
Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 15:36:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <504E6B7C.9010407@suse.com> (raw)
From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com>
The st_mutex was created when the BKL was removed, and
prevents simultaneous st_open calls. It is better to
protect just the necessary data.
Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com>
Reviewed-by: Lee Duncan <lduncan@suse.com>
This patch is based on the "misc" branch of the SCSI tree
and the 5-patch series for st sent by Jeff Mahoney 8/18/2012
and Ack-ed by Kai on 8/20.
