      hpfs: remove the BKL · 9a311b96
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      This removes the BKL in hpfs in a rather awful
      way, by making the code only work on uniprocessor
      systems without kernel preemption, as suggested
      by Andi Kleen.
      
      The HPFS code probably has close to zero remaining
      users on current kernels, all archeological uses of
      the file system can probably be done with the significant
      restrictions.
      
      The hpfs_lock/hpfs_unlock functions are left in the
      code, sincen Mikulas has indicated that he is still
      interested in fixing it in a better way.

      BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL. · 6de5bd12
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a
      few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even
      there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do
      about them, this patch illustrates one of the options:
      
      Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig,
      and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets
      disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL
      code itself is compiled out.
      
      The one exception is file locking, which is practically always
      enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces
      CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd
      mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c.
