Subject: [PATCH] dabusb: remove the BKL
Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2010 21:32:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201010042132.05292.arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
The dabusb device driver is sufficiently serialized using
its own mutex, no need for the big kernel lock here
in addition.

Hi Mauro,
I just realized that the dabusb driver is not actually a v4l driver,
when I did more test builds with allyesconfig and CONFIG_BKL disabled.
I've added this patch to my bkl/config queue for now, but if you want to carry
it in your tree, I'll drop it from mine.
