From 6c857730438cceb56a94ade3029899f52adf3b90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:01:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] HID: remove BKL from hiddev_ioctl_usage() The race between ioctl and disconnect is guarded by low level hiddev device mutex (existancelock) since the commit 07903407 ("HID: hiddev cleanup -- handle all error conditions properly"), therefore we can remove the lock_kernel() from hiddev_ioctl_usage().
