[PATCH] block/rnbd: Remove a useless mutex

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

 



According to lib/idr.c,
   The IDA handles its own locking.  It is safe to call any of the IDA
   functions without synchronisation in your code.

so the 'ida_lock' mutex can just be removed.
It is here only to protect some ida_simple_get()/ida_simple_remove() calls.
