Subject: [PATCH] avr32: Don't acquire siglock when reading sighand action
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 20:04:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1301511856-9370-1-git-send-email-matt@console-pimps.org> (raw)
From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@linux.intel.com>
There's no need to acquire the siglock when simply reading the action
handler. We would need to lock it if we were modifying the handler or
we were protecting it from modification across function calls, but if
we're just reading it, there's no need to lock it
