    [PATCH] shift BKL out of vfs_readdir · ec3630a1
    Dave Hansen authored
    This patch takes the BKL out of vfs_readdir() and moves it into the
    individual filesystems, all 35 of them.  I have the feeling that this
    wasn't done before because there are a lot of these to change and it was
    a pain to find them all.  I definitely got all of those that were
    defined in the in the structure declaration like this "readdir:
    fs_readdir;" vxfs_readdir was assigned strangely, but I found it anyway.
    I also left devfs out of this one.  Richard seems confident that devfs
    has no need for the BKL.
