A patch that reduces bkl usage in do_coredump is attached. I don't see anywhere that it is necessary except for the call to format_corename, which is controlled via sysctl (sys_sysctl holds the bkl). Also make format_corename() static. Signed-off-by: Josh Aas -- Josh Aas Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Linux System Software 651-683-3068
