The patch titled
proc: Remove useless BKL in proc_pid_readlink
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
proc-remove-useless-bkl-in-proc_pid_readlink.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: proc: Remove useless BKL in proc_pid_readlink
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
We already call everything except do_proc_readlink outside of the BKL in
proc_pid_followlink, and there appears to be nothing in do_proc_readlink that
needs any special protection.
So remove this leftover from one of the BKL cleanup efforts.
