Subject: [PATCH] bridge: add rcu_read_lock
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:57:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100728095730.11450561@nehalam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1280302431.3684.0.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net>

Long ago, when bridge was converted to RCU, rcu lock was equivalent
to having preempt disabled. RCU has changed a lot since then and
bridge code was still assuming the since transmit was called with
bottom half disabled, it was RCU safe.

In addition to fixing the code, update the comments about
locking to match current state as well.
