Hi,
        Reading arch/x86/kernel/cpuid.c I saw that lock_kernel() is used
        to protect offset variable. I think is better to use a lock in
        struct file to do that and all operations that touch some
        "struct file" take a local lock. 

        I think that the use of BLK could be reduced using a lock in
        struct file.
        
        My question is, Is that posiblle or I'm missing something?


        regards,
                diegows
