[PATCH 03/12] scsi: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, me... 11 Jul 2010 18:11

[PATCH 00/12] autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
This is a repost of an earlier patch to remove those users of the big kernel lock that can be converted to a mutex using a simple script. The only use of the BKL is in file operations that are called without any other lock, so the new mutex is the top-level serialization and cannot introduce any AB-BA deadlock.... 11 Jul 2010 18:11
