Subject: [PATCH 6/18] iseries_veth: Replace lock-protected atomic with an ordinary variable
Date: Thu,  1 Sep 2005 11:29:06 +1000 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050901012906.9EF9568206@ozlabs.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1125538127.859382.875909607846.qpush@concordia>

The iseries_veth driver uses atomic ops to manipulate the in_use field of
one of its per-connection structures. However all references to the
flag occur while the connection's lock is held, so the atomic ops aren't
necessary.
