Subject: question about nfs_execute_read: why do we need to do lock_kernel?
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 00:57:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ae3c140604242157k26f39f71qcf6eed811f1e2d8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

This question may be dumb. But I am curious why in nfs_execute_read()
function, rpc_execute  is bracketed with lock_kernel() and
unlock_kernel()?

Thanks in advance for your help!
