Re: [PATCH 1/1] NET: wan/x25_asy, move lapb_unregister to x25_asy_close_tty

[Andrew Hendry <andrew.hendry@gmail.com>]

Looks like some more X.25 users. Not sure on your usage, but I should point out:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/332981/
X.25 protocol needs to have the big kernel lock removed so it can stay
around in the future.
I have been working through them, but there are still some of the more
complex ones remaining.

The test setups I am using are:
Sockets<->X25<->x25loop<->X25<->Sockets
Sockets<->X25<->xotd<->network<->xotd<->X25<->Sockets
and I know some users have:
Sockets<->X25<->xotd<->network<->CiscoXOT<->devices.

Where x25loop is a userspace tun device which shuffles the LCIs, does
some basic call handling and loops the calls back into kernel X25.
xotd is a basic implementation of the X25 over TCP RFC.

Are you using something like this?
Sockets<->X25<->lapb<->x25_async<->.....

If you are using X25 I would be interested to see how your setup goes
with the X25 BKL cleanup work, and if anyone wanted to help with the
remaining BKLs :)
