Hi, now I take away what I've added. This patch removes the BKL from the drivers that obviously don't need it. Thus it stays in: - USB drivers that use lock_kernel() in ioctl() - rio500 which was incorrectly converted as BKL was removed from disconnect() - sisusbvga, whose linkage to the framebuffer subsystem I don't understand - dabusb, which has the most convoluted open() method I've ever seen - hiddev, which may actually need it Regards Oliver -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
