[PATCH 5/5] binderfs: drop lock in binderfs_binder_ctl_create

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

 



The binderfs_binder_ctl_create() call is a no-op on subsequent calls and
the first call is done before we unlock the suberblock. Hence, there is no
need to take inode_lock() in there. Let's remove it.

Note, that fs/devptfs/inode.c:mknod_ptmx() is currently holding
inode_lock() too under the exact same circumstances. Seems that we can drop
it from there too.
