The patch titled freevxfs: Add missing lock_kernel() to vxfs_readdir has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is freevxfs-add-missing-lock_kernel-to-vxfs_readdir.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: freevxfs: Add missing lock_kernel() to vxfs_readdir From: Josh Triplett <josht@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit 7b2fd697427e73c81d5fa659efd91bd07d303b0e in the historical GIT tree stopped calling the readdir member of a file_operations struct with the big kernel lock held, and fixed up all the readdir functions to do their own locking. However, that change added calls to unlock_kernel() in vxfs_readdir, but no call to lock_kernel(). Fix this by adding a call to lock_kernel().
