Subject: [PATCH 0/3] bonding: 3 fixes for 2.6.24
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2008 17:56:57 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11997574203125-git-send-email-fubar@us.ibm.com> (raw)
Following are three fixes to fix locking problems and
silence locking-related warnings in the current 2.6.24-rc.
patch 1: fix locking in sysfs primary/active selection
Call core network functions with expected locks to
eliminate potential deadlock and silence warnings.
patch 2: fix ASSERT_RTNL that produces spurious warnings
Relocate ASSERT_RTNL to remove a false warning; after patch,
ASSERT is located in code that holds only RTNL (additional locks were
causing the ASSERT to trip)
patch 3: fix locking during alb failover and slave removal
Fix all call paths into alb_fasten_mac_swap to hold only RTNL.
Eliminates deadlock and silences warnings.
Patches are against the current netdev-2.6#upstream branch.
Please apply for 2.6.24.
