From ce81b76a39835a721cd168e0c0bcfe7132f1f66b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:34:30 +0000 Subject: ipv6: use RCU to walk list of network devices No longer need read_lock(&dev_base_lock), use RCU instead. We also can avoid taking references on inet6_dev structs. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
