From ff9724a3f7a69f7b443c05981f84e28017c2fc5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:25:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] proc: Remove useless BKL in proc_pid_readlink We already call everything except do_proc_readlink outside of the BKL in proc_pid_followlink, and there appears to be nothing in do_proc_readlink that needs any special protection. So remove this leftover from one of the BKL cleanup efforts. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
