Subject: [PATCH] hiddev: Switch to unlocked_ioctl
Date: Thu, 22 May 2008 22:22:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080522222217.3a785487@core> (raw)
Push down the BKL. In some cases compat_ioctl already doesn't take the
BKL so we don't either. Some of the locking here seems already dubious
and object lifetimes want documenting
