[patch 7/7] um: Remove BKL from harddog

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

[-- Attachment #1: um-remove-bkl-from-harddog.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1996 bytes --]

It's safe to remove the BKL from harddog because:

     - open() needs no serialization versus init
     - open() is already serialized with a local lock

     - ioctl() does not need BKL for put/copy_user
     - ioctl() does not need BKL for pin_watchdog as it
       simply writes to the fd which was created in open()
