Subject: [PATCH] sunrpc/lockd: fix references to the BKL
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2015 08:19:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1421932772-4044-1-git-send-email-jeff.layton@primarydata.com> (raw)

The BKL is completely out of the picture in the lockd and sunrpc code
these days. Update the antiquated comments that refer to it.
