From: Hannes Reinecke h...@suse.com
The st_mutex was created when the BKL was removed, and
prevents simultaneous st_open calls. It is better to
protect just the necessary data.
Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke h...@suse.com
Reviewed-by: Lee Duncan ldun...@suse.com
This patch is based on the misc branch of the SCSI tree
and the 5-patch series for st sent by Jeff Mahoney 8/18/2012
and Ack-ed by Kai on 8/20.
