From 4f8c19fdf3f97402b68f058b1c72a6c7166c9e59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 14:14:43 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] inode: remove iprune_sem Now that we have per-sb shrinkers with a lifecycle that is a subset of the superblock lifecycle and can reliably detect a filesystem being unmounted, there is not longer any race condition for the iprune_sem to protect against. Hence we can remove it.
