[PATCH] dm: remove dm_mutex (after bkl conversion)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



During the BKL conversion, commit
2a48fc0ab24241755dc93bfd4f01d68efab47f5a
pushed down lock_kernel() into dm_blk_open/close calls
and commit 2a48fc0ab24241755dc93bfd4f01d68efab47f5a
converted it to local mutex.

Patch removes this mutex, DM does not need it, there is
_minor_lock in open call covering create/remove DM device
operation.

In close call there is just atomic reference decrementation
which does not need to be covered by lock.
