Btw, the nfsd delegation code still has a few comments referring to the BKL. This should probably be cleaned up: fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c: * Called from break_lease() with lock_kernel() held. fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c: /* only place dl_time is set. protected by lock_kernel*/ fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c: * Called by locks_free_lock() with lock_kernel() held. fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c: * Called from setlease() with lock_kernel() held -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
