[PATCH 1/7][MAC8021]: Fix one more call to synchronize_rcu in atomic context.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



(This set applies OK without the previous one of 4 patches,
 but with some fuzz in the 7th one)


The mesh_path_node_free() does so under hashwlock.

But, this one is called
1. from mesh_path_add() after an old hash is hidden and
   synchronize_rcu() is calld
2. mesh_pathtbl_unregister(), when the module is being
   unloaded and no devices exist to mess with this hash.

So, it seems to me, that simply removing the call is OK.
