Subject: block: don't take lock on changing ra_pages
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~21157^2~29
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7c239517d9f18427fc2e7ed259fb3b866595f5af;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

block: don't take lock on changing ra_pages

There's no need to take queue_lock or kernel_lock when modifying
bdi->ra_pages. So remove them. Also remove out of date comment for
queue_max_sectors_store().
