BKL: Remove BKL from ecryptfs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The BKL is only used in fill_super, which is protected by the superblocks
s_umount rw_semaphorei, and in fasync, which does not do anything that
could require the BKL. Therefore it is safe to remove the BKL entirely.
