Subject: [PATCH]IPv6: Acquire addrconf_hash_lock for reading instead of writing in addrconf_verify(...)
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 10:14:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <437BE773.6010007@21cn.com> (raw)
Hi.
addrconf_verify(...) only traverse address hash table when addrconf_hash_lock is held
for writing, and it may hold addrconf_hash_lock for a long time. So I think it's better
to acquire addrconf_hash_lock for reading instead of writing
