Subject: [PATCH 2/2] decnet: convert dndev_lock to spinlock
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:40:36 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091111094036.736762da@nehalam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091111093927.4a08999d@nehalam>
There is no reason for this lock to be reader/writer since
the reader only has lock held for a very brief period.
The overhead of read_lock is more expensive than spinlock.
Compile tested only, I am not a decnet user.
