Subject: [PATCH 3/6] USB-BKL: Remove BKL use for usb serial driver probing
From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>
The usb serial driver initialization tried to use the BKL to stop
driver modules from unloading, but that didn't work anyways.
There was already some code to do proper try_module_get,
but it was conditional on having a new probe interface.
I checked all the low level drivers and they all have proper
.owner = THIS_MODULE, so it's ok to always use.
The other problem was the usb_serial_driver_list needing
protection by a lock. This was broken anyways because unregister
did not necessarily have the BKL.
I extended the extending table_lock mutex to protect this case too.
With these changes the BKL can be removed here.
