Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ixp2000: rtnl_lock out of loop will be faster
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 16:48:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <475FA05C.1060705@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
[PATCH 3/4] [NETDEV] ixp2000: rtnl_lock out of loop will be faster
Before this patch, it gets and releases the lock at each
iteration of the loop. Changing unregister_netdev to
unregister_netdevice and locking outside of the loop will
be faster for this approach.
