SubjectRe: [Outreachy kernel] [PATCH v6] staging: Use buf_lock instead of mlock and Refactor code

Hi Simran,

I going to ask for a v7 without looking at the code ;)
Subject line needs subsystem and driver.
Subject and log message can be improved.

^^^^^^^^^^^ this was not done

This was done. So, you were able to obsolete the need for mlock
by creating the paired function.

^^^^ this was not done. Yes, you avoided nested locks through
proper coding, but we don't want to give the impression in the
log message that there was a pre-existing nested lock issue.

I did checkpatch & compile it...but looked no further yet.
