Prev: [PATCH 0/6] USB: BKL removal
Next: [PATCH] scsi/st: remove BKL from open
From: Arnd Bergmann on 1 Jun 2010 17:10
compat_ioctl does not use the BKL, so I assume that
the native function does not need it either.

The open function is already protected by the
driver's mutex, the BKL is probably not needed
here either.
