Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 16:51:28 +0200 From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de> To: Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@...radead.org>, Sam Ravnborg <sam@...nborg.org>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, John Kacur <jkacur@...hat.com>, Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com>, linux-scsi@...r.kernel.org, Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de> Subject: [PATCH 6/7] block: remove BKL from partition ioctls The blkpg_ioctl and blkdev_reread_part access fields of the bdev and gendisk structures, yet they always do so under the protection of bdev->bd_mutex, which seems sufficient.
