From 72250d44bc76d3d7fa9253aeeb063a467e2458fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 09:35:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] i4l: kill big kernel lock The isdn4linux driver uses the big kernel lock only to serialize access to a few fields in its own modem_info structure. The easiest replacement is a driver-wide mutex. More fine-grained locking would be more appropriate here, but likely harder to implement.
