From e4e62b35b8cf008f47ffd240d04bde654d289a46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 16:35:07 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] V4L/DVB: dvb-core: kill the big kernel lock The dvb core only uses the big kernel lock in the open and ioctl functions, which means it can be replaced with a dvb specific mutex. Fortunately, all the ioctl functions go through dvb_usercopy, so we can move the serialization in there.
