Subject: [PATCH 2.5.69] IPV4 should use dev_hold
Date: Tue, 6 May 2003 15:32:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030506153234.4907001f.shemminger@osdl.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20030506.072338.39479306.davem@redhat.com>
David,
While debugging possible changes to dev refcounting, discovered
a couple of places in IPV4 that were directly incrementing rather
than using the inline dev_hold. Let's hide the implementation of
net device ref counting so future module ref count fixes will be easier.
