From b0d0d915d1d1a0fe486849f3e41333c66df620c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 21:49:56 +0100 Subject: ipx: remove the BKL This replaces all instances of lock_kernel in the IPX code with lock_sock. As far as I can tell, this is safe to do, because there is no global state that needs to be locked in IPX, and the code does not recursively take the lock or sleep indefinitely while holding it. Compile-tested only. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Acked-by: David S.
