[PATCH 09/12] inode: remove iprune_sem

From: Dave Chinner
Date: Thu Jun 02 2011 - 03:03:14 EST


From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now that we have per-sb shrinkers and they are unregistered before
evict_inode() is called, there is not longer any race condition for
the iprune_sem to protect against. Hence we can remove it.
