Subject: [PATCH 6/6] procfs: Kill the bkl in ioctl
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 08:20:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1269930015-863-7-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1269930015-863-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com>

There are no more users of procfs that implement the ioctl
callback. Drop the bkl from this path and warn on any use
of this callback.
