X-Git-Tag: v3.7-rc1~10^2~21 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1ca69c4bc4b1ef889861db39f325901eadbf9497;p=pandora-kernel.git md: avoid taking the mutex on some ioctls. Some ioctls don't need to take the mutex and doing so can cause a delay as it is held during super-block update. So move those ioctls out of the mutex and rely on rcu locking to ensure we don't access stale data. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
