From de6bf18e9ce0df807dab08cff08751cac383429d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Louis Rilling Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:37:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] configfs: Consolidate locking around configfs_detach_prep() in configfs_rmdir() It appears that configfs_rmdir() can protect configfs_detach_prep() retries with less calls to {spin,mutex}_{lock,unlock}, and a cleaner code. This patch does not change any behavior, except that it removes two useless lock/unlock pairs having nothing inside to protect and providing a useless barrier.
