From bedbdd8bada194a690d2901801bf8451965086b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Brown Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 08:40:35 -0400 Subject: knfsd: Replace lock_kernel with a mutex for nfsd thread startup/shutdown locking. This removes the BKL from the RPC service creation codepath. The BKL really isn't adequate for this job since some of this info needs protection across sleeps. Also, add some comments to try and clarify how the locking should work and to make it clear that the BKL isn't necessary as long as there is adequate locking between tasks when touching the svc_serv fields.
