From de7587343bfebc186995ad294e3de0da382eb9bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:25:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] proc: Remove tasklist_lock from proc_pid_lookup() and proc_task_lookup() Since we no longer need the tasklist_lock for get_task_struct the lookup methods no longer need the tasklist_lock. This just depends on my previous patch that makes get_task_struct() rcu safe. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
