Subject: [S390] monwriter: remove lock_kernel() from open() function
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.33-rc1~349^2~7
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=801f97b7da9dff4aace7111bfe0d073caf5febd2;p=linux.git

[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.
