    Subject[PATCH] [14/18] BKL-removal: Add unlocked_fasync
    Date

    Add a new fops entry point to allow fasync without BKL. While it's arguably
    unclear this entry point is called often enough for it really matters
    it was still relatively easy to do. And there are far less async users
    in the tree than ioctls so it's likely they can be all converted
    eventually and then the non unlocked async entry point could be dropped.
