From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Johannes Berg Subject: [PATCH 0/4] nl80211 cleanups Date: Mon, 04 Oct 2010 21:14:02 +0200 Message-ID: <20101004191402.183055479@sipsolutions.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org To: John Linville Return-path: Received: from he.sipsolutions.net ([78.46.109.217]:47310 "EHLO sipsolutions.net" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S932165Ab0JDTTk (ORCPT ); Mon, 4 Oct 2010 15:19:40 -0400 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This patchset adds some new hooks to generic netlink and then goes on to use them to really optimise a lot of locking code in nl80211. It not only shrinks the code in nl80211 by almost 5K .text, but also greatly reduces the likelihood of future errors. I'd prefer to merge this through John's wireless tree, so it'd be nice to get ACKs. johannes
