Subject: UBIFS: kill BKL
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9d6bbc428bdf0c08bbd0b3f28db2b7317cfff21;p=linux-beck.git

UBIFS: kill BKL

The BKL was pushed down from VFS to the file-systems. It used
to serialize mount/unmount/remount and prevented more than one
instance of the same file-system from doing
mount/umount/remount at the same time. But it is OK for UBIFS
and it does not need any additional locking for these cases.
Thus, kick the BKL out of UBIFS.
