+What: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklist_lock)
|
|
|
+When: August 2006
|
|
|
+Files: kernel/fork.c
|
|
|
+Why: tasklist_lock protects the kernel internal task list. Modules have
|
|
|
+ no business looking at it, and all instances in drivers have been due
|
|
|
+ to use of too-lowlevel APIs. Having this symbol exported prevents
|
|
|
+ moving to more scalable locking schemes for the task list.
