Subject: [PATCH 3.18 34/50] pstore: Allow prz to control need for locking
3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@...gle.com>
commit 663deb47880f2283809669563c5a52ac7c6aef1a upstream.
In preparation of not locking at all for certain buffers depending on if
there's contention, make locking optional depending on the initialization
of the prz.
Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes <joelaf@...gle.com>
[kees: moved locking flag into prz instead of via caller arguments]
