Subject: [RFC 3/5] BKL: do not take BKL in do_coredump
Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2010 02:13:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1275523999-27462-4-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1275523999-27462-1-git-send-email-arnd@arndb.de>
core_pattern is not actually protected and hasn't been
ever since we introduced procfs support for sysctl -- a
_long_ time. Don't take it here either.
