Subject: [PATCH] don't take lock on changing ra_pages
Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2008 18:19:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081123101907.GA12218@localhost> (raw)
There's no need to take queue_lock or kernel_lock when modifying
bdi->ra_pages. So remove them. Also remove out of date comment for
queue_max_sectors_store().
