Subject: fuse: remove fuse_mutex protection from fuse_dev_ioctl_sync_init()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e582371be4a75c461fecb61b98ee391025f91946;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

fuse: remove fuse_mutex protection from fuse_dev_ioctl_sync_init()

In normal use ioctl(FUSE_DEV_IOC_SYNC_INIT) comes before the mount() or
fsconfig() syscalls, they are executed strictly serially.

If ioctl and mount are performed in parallel, the behavior is
nondeterministic.  Removing the mutex does not change this.
