Subject: [PATCH] shaper.c: fix locking
Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 13:54:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050527115450.GA19469@lst.de> (raw)

 o use a semaphore instead of an opencoded and racy lock
 o move locking out of shaper_kick and into the callers - most just
   released the lock before calling shaper_kick
 o remove in_interrupt() tests.  from ->close we can always block, from
   ->hard_start_xmit and timer context never
