According to Mike Frysinger: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/699279 open() does not need the BKL, so take it back out.

lock_kernel() calls have been pushed down into code which needs it, so there is no need to take the BKL at this level anymore. This work inspired and aided by Andi Kleen's unlocked_fasync() patches. Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Chances are this is unneeded, but the code is twisty enough that it is hard to tell. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

This driver appears to really need the BKL to protect open_files. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

- Replace remote_llseek with generic_file_llseek_unlocked (to force compilation failures in all users) - Change all users to either use generic_file_llseek_unlocked directly or take the BKL around. I changed the file systems who don't use the BKL for anything (CIFS, GFS) to call it directly. NCPFS and SMBFS and NFS take the BKL, but explicitely in their own source now. I moved them all over in a single patch to avoid unbisectable sections. Open problem: 32bit kernels can corrupt fpos because its modification is not atomic, but they can do that anyways because there's other paths who modify it without BKL. Do we need a special lock for the pos/f_version = 0 checks? Trond says the NFS BKL is likely not needed, but keep it for now until his full audit. v2: Use generic_file_llseek_unlocked instead of remote_llseek_unlocked and factor duplicated code (suggested by hch) Cc: Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com Cc: swhiteho@redhat.com Cc: sfrench@samba.org Cc: vandrove@vc.cvut.cz Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

The FAT BKL removal patch can cause deadlocks. It turns out that the new lock_super() calls are unneeded, remove them (as directed by Linus). Reported-by: "Tony Luck" <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
