From e6fe07a014c7a3466dcd1a387a9ac04d84c2703c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Corbet Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 13:22:40 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] pm_qos: remove BKL pm_qos_power_open got its lock_kernel() calls from the open() pushdown. A look at the code shows that the only global resources accessed are pm_qos_array and "name". pm_qos_array doesn't change (things pointed to therein do change, but they are atomics and/or are protected by pm_qos_lock). Accesses to "name" are totally unprotected with or without the BKL; that will be fixed shortly. The BKL is not helpful here; take it out.
