[2.6 patch] compat: Remove leftovers from register_ioctl32_conversion

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We don't need the semaphore any more since we no longer
write to the ioctl32 hash table while the kernel is running.

This patch was already ACK'ed by Andi Kleen.
