Prev: Kill the bkl in procfs
Next: [PATCH] x86/microcode: Use nonseekable_open
From: Frederic Weisbecker on 10 Apr 2010 10:20
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd(a)arndb.de>

Seeking on /dev/random and /dev/urandom is pointless.
Using generic_file_llseek means we no longer need to
take the BKL if anyone tries to seek on these.
