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.

	-J
