The Big Kernel Lock lives onThe Big Kernel Lock lives onPosted May 27, 2004 17:57 UTC (Thu) by iabervon (subscriber, #722)Parent article: The Big Kernel Lock lives on I'd guess that most of the uses of the BKL will go away for the purpose of removing the BKL code, or for the purpose of determining and documenting what data each area touches. What exactly does rpciod use that's protected by the BKL? Is that data still protected by the BKL? Will somebody know when redoing the locking wherever it is that rpciod has to be changed accordingly?
