From ce61856bd2aadb064f595e5c0444376a2b117c41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:09:47 -0400 Subject: dnotify: do not bother to lock entry->lock when reading mask entry->lock is needed to make sure entry->mask does not change while manipulating it. In dnotify_should_send_event() we don't care if we get an old or a new mask value out of this entry so there is no point it taking the lock.
