Subject: [NETLINK 00/04]: Consistent dump callback locking
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 09:51:51 +0200 (MEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070416074949.19262.73702.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
These patches change netlink to provide consistent locking in dump callbacks.
Currently the first invocation of the callbacks happens under the queue
processing mutex and ->cb_lock of the dumping socket, further invocations only
under cb_lock. The first patch replaces the cb_lock spinlock by a mutex and
allows netlink_kernel_create users to override it with a subsystem specific
mutex, the second patch makes use of this for rtnetlink. The third and fourth
patches remove some locking that is not needed anymore.
Please apply, thanks.
