    dvb-core: kill the big kernel lock · 72024f1e
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    The dvb core only uses the big kernel lock in the open
    and ioctl functions, which means it can be replaced with
    a dvb specific mutex. Fortunately, all the ioctl functions
    go through dvb_usercopy, so we can move the serialization
    in there.
