[PATCH] platform/x86/intel/vsec: Remove a useless mutex

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

 



ida_alloc()/ida_free() don't need any mutex, so remove this one.

It was introduced by commit 9a90ea7d3784 ("platform/x86/intel/vsec: Use
mutex for ida_alloc() and ida_free()").

Review with care. This patch is clearly the opposite of the one in Fixes
which states that locking IS needed.
IIUC, idr_ functions need locking, but not ida_.

If I'm wrong, could you elaborate why? (because many other places will
need to be fixed and the doc certainly needs updating)
