[PATCH 03/14] NFSD: narrow nfsd_mutex protection in nfsd thread

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

 



There is nothing happening in the start of nfsd() that requires
protection by the mutex, so don't take it until shutting down the thread
- which does still require protection.
