Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Kill the BKL in compat ioctl handling
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2009 15:09:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1249564170-18627-1-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)

I noticed that compat_sys_ioctl still holds the big kernel
lock for all ioctl conversion handlers. It would be easy to
push this one level down and only do it where necessary,
but I decided to clean it up some more at the same time
and move all the VT ioctl handling into the specific drivers.
