Doing a quick search on the kernel, it looks like only kjournald uses the bit_spin_locks. I'll start converting them to spinlocks. The use seems to be more of a hack, since it is using bits in the state field for locking, and these bits aren't used for anything else. -- Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
