Thanks for your reply.

I have noticed that the "pnettable->lock" rwlock is acquired several times
in different functions of net/smc/smc_pnet.c. smc_pnetid_by_table_ib() is just one
of many functions that acquire that rwlock.

Therefore, my question is... are you _really_ sure that "pnettable->lock" can be 
safely converted to a mutex everywhere in net/smc?

I haven't read _all_ the path that lead to {write,read}_lock(&pnettable->lock) in 
the net/smc code.

I think that before submitting that patch I should carefully read the code and check
_all_ the paths, unless you can confirm that the conversion is safe everywhere. If 
you can answer my question, I can work on a patch by this evening (CET time zone) 
and, obviously, give you proper credit.

Thank you,
