Hi, Reading arch/x86/kernel/cpuid.c I saw that lock_kernel() is used to protect offset variable. I think is better to use a lock in struct file to do that and all operations that touch some "struct file" take a local lock. I think that the use of BLK could be reduced using a lock in struct file. My question is, Is that posiblle or I'm missing something? regards, diegows -- -------------- Diego Woitasen -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
