Subject: [PATCH 1/5] bridge: Use rcu_barrier() instead of syncronize_net() on unload.
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:45:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090626204548.10664.75094.stgit@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090626204152.10664.69628.stgit@localhost>

When unloading modules that uses call_rcu() callbacks, then we must
use rcu_barrier().  This module uses syncronize_net() which is not
enough to be sure that all callback has been completed.
