Subject: [PATCH 1/2] proc: do translation + unlink atomically at remove_proc_entry()
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:36:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100120203644.GB23868@x200> (raw)
remove_proc_entry() does
lock
lookup parent
unlock
lock
unlink proc entry from lists
unlock
which can be made bit more correct by doing parent translation + unlink
without dropping lock.
