Subject: [PATCH] bonding 802.3ad: Fix the state machine locking
Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2011 10:05:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299143159-9754-1-git-send-email-nils.carlson@ericsson.com> (raw)

The current implementation only locked around the rx state machine,
but the rx state machine reads data touched by other state machines
as well, so in a very ugly scenario we would see the rx state machine
reading bad values as data was being overwritten by other state
machines. This patch moves the bond_3ad locking to protect all the
state machines from concurrency issues.
