From c4f92dba97f4e3aa757500896f87001569f4604b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2005 14:25:23 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] nfsd to unlock kernel before exiting The nfsd holds the big kernel lock upon exit, when it really shouldn't. Not to mention that this breaks Ingo's RT patch. This is a trivial fix to release the lock. Ingo, this patch also works with your kernel, and stops the problem with nfsd. Note, there's a "goto out;" where "out:" is right above svc_exit_thread. The point of the goto also holds the kernel_lock, so I don't see any problem here in releasing it.
