Subject: [PATCH 4/7] netconsole: remove unnecessary netconsole_target_get/out() from write_msg()
Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 12:06:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1431619586-29187-5-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1431619586-29187-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org>

write_msg() grabs target_list_lock and walks target_list invoking
netpool_send_udp() on each target.  Curiously, it protects each
iteration with netconsole_target_get/put() even though it never
releases target_list_lock which protects all the members.

While this doesn't harm anything, it doesn't serve any purpose either.
The items on the list can't go away while target_list_lock is held.
Remove the unnecessary get/put pair.
