Subject: NFS: Remove BKL from the symlink code
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=76566991f94c206d9c5881edcaf99ba72c9e9d61;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

NFS: Remove BKL from the symlink code

Page cache accesses are serialised using page locks, whereas attribute
updates are serialised using inode->i_lock.
