Hello. I am trying to get a better understanding of the remaining BKLs in the Kernel. Let me be specific: A noticed that a lot of it happens in lseeks and related operations that change the status of one of the attributes of struct file. Given that struct file has clearly "data to be protected", is there any reason to not insert a granular lock in this struct ?
