Subject: [PATCH 2/4] cxgb3: rtnl_lock out of loop will be faster
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 16:47:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <475FA01D.4090000@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

[PATCH 2/4] [NETDEV] cxgb3: rtnl_lock out of loop will be faster

Before this patch, it gets and releases the lock at each
iteration of the loop. Changing unregister_netdev to
unregister_netdevice and locking outside of the loop will
be faster for this approach.
