Re: [PATCH 2/6] block: push down BKL into .open and .release

[Christoph Hellwig]

I might be missing something, but this doesn't actually push the
BKL anyway.  It adds duplicate BKL locking inside the ->open and
->release methods without actually removing it in the callers.

That's a pretty pointless thing to do.  If you're not feeling
confident enough about touching block_dev.c I can look into that
part of the pushdown, but this patch on it's own is not actually
useful.
