From 4b532c9b8c87eb8e51605c4d08dfb5139c758dc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:30:21 +1100 Subject: md: remove md_mutex locking. lock_kernel calls were recently pushed down into open/release functions. md doesn't need that protection. Then the BKL calls were change to md_mutex. We don't need those either. So remove it all.
