Hi.quoted
this is the cleanup of hiddev against current vanilla. What do you think?See my comments below.Hi, there still is a race of disconnect() with ioctl(). It seems like that code still operates under the assumption that both methods take BKL. Do you prefer a conservative fix with selective application of BKL or introduction of a new mutex?
It's none of my business... but IMO we should try to move away from the BKL as much as possible. Alan Stern
