From ab91261f5c43f196ec7ff1d113847b87b7606b26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 22:55:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: don't use BKL in default_llseek There are currently 191 users of default_llseek. Nine of these are in device drivers that use the big kernel lock. None of these ever touch file->f_pos outside of llseek or file_pos_write. Consequently, we never rely on the BKL in the default_llseek function and can replace that with i_mutex, which is also used in generic_file_llseek.
