[Xen-devel] you patch "block: push down BKL into .open and .release" and its changes to xen-blkfront.c

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Arnd,

what was the point of adding {,un}lock_kernel() to blkif_open() and
blkif_release()? Afaict, the associated bdev is protected by a mutex
anyway, so even without Daniel's addition of a mutex to these
paths I don't see the need for the BKL here.

Thanks, Jan
