From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2003 19:21:56 +1000 However, should I bother with smp_call_function? It seems that I'll have to disable local IRQs at least once on the fast path to use it. Alternatively I can stay with the rcu and just wait for the callbacks to finish. A forced operation is the only way. If no more packets traverse the flow cache lookup, the whole engine deadlocks. It really is necessary to get in there and force the issue. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
