From 801f97b7da9dff4aace7111bfe0d073caf5febd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerald Schaefer Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 12:52:18 +0100 Subject: [S390] monwriter: remove lock_kernel() from open() function The lock_kernel() calls in the open() function are unnecessary because misc_register() is called last in module_init() and concurrent open() calls are handled by other means.
