Subject: [PATCH 0/2] make roaming a bit faster
Date: Wed,  5 Sep 2012 20:23:55 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346865837-32265-1-git-send-email-eliad@wizery.com> (raw)

The use of synchronize_rcu during roaming adds
a significant delay. try minimizing it by replacing
these calls with other alternatives.
