I've merged your 2.4 patch w/ my changes and check w/ a couple of thousand PPPoA sessions created and destroyed over night (which always triggered the locking/unlocking vcc problems on my SMP box). I'll let you know how it goes by tomorrow. One comment on the patch - the change in the net/atm/Makefile (i.e. changing O_TARGET into atmdev.o) didn't work in my environment (main Makefile still links atm.o), but I haven't had time to check it out any further - I am using the old Makefile for now. Thanks again - and yes, I am using the he155 card :-) Immanuel chas williams wrote: > >ftp://ftp.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/pub/chas/linux-atm/2_5_64_atm_dev_lock.patch > > i have made an equivalent version of these patches for 2.4.20 in hopes > of getting more feedback. > > ftp://ftp.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/pub/chas/linux-atm/2_4_20_atm_dev_lock.patch > > (only the nicstar, fore200e, eni and he (included) driver support the > new smp 'safe' locking) >
