From 5f202bd5ca64132cdd7f186656bc0221f257733d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Sun, 4 Jul 2010 00:02:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] do_coredump: Do not take BKL core_pattern is not actually protected and hasn't been ever since we introduced procfs support for sysctl -- a _long_ time. Don't take it here either. Also nothing inside do_coredump appears to require bkl protection.
