From 454cc105ef690f2a0ba7c6b194d55666b4e918ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:25:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] proc: Remove tasklist_lock from proc_pid_readdir We don't need the tasklist_lock to safely iterate through processes anymore. This depends on my previous to task patches that make get_task_struct rcu safe, and that make next_task() rcu safe. I haven't gotten first_tid/next_tid yet only because next_thread is missing an rcu_dereference. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
