Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:23:59 +0200 From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com>, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>, Jan Blunck <jblunck@...e.de>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, John Kacur <jkacur@...hat.com>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de> Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Push down BKL into device drivers This is half the work of getting rid of the BKL in the ioctl file operation, the rest in arch/ and fs/ still needs to be done, maybe two more hours of work (for someone else than me ;-)). Pushdown is straightforward. In many cases, it's rather obvious that the BKL is not needed at all, but let's not mix the removal with the pushdown.
