Changing to register unlocked_ioctl instead. Also mce ioctl handler does not seem to need any lock protection. To: Andi Kleen Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org Change the Machine check handler to use unlocked_ioctl instead of ioctl handler. Also the mce ioctl handler does not need any lock protection.
