Since BKL removal seems to be en-vogue again here's the repost of the unapplied parts of my older VFS BKL patchkit.
Main difference is port to 2.6.26-rc2 and more fasync conversins.
- Converts remote_llseek to be BKL less. This will either eliminate or push it down in a couple of network file systems (SMBFS, CIFS, OCFS2, NCPFS, NFS) - Converts file flags handling to i_mutex [BTW while looking over the tree I think there are a few races in this regard in there anyways. Not all people who modify that take BKL. Auditing all of them is a separate project. No difference before/after my patch] - Adds unlocked_fasync - Converts lots of fasync users to unlocked_fasync
