From 362376a7c65936835f39ff29b082a646d522efbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gu Zheng Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2014 10:19:52 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: mtdblock: remove the needless mtdblks_lock The global lock mtdblks_lock was used to protect the original mtdblks array to avoid race conditions. As the mtdblks array was already gone, but the mtdblks_lock is left, and it causes latency when open/release dev. So we need to remove it here.
