[RFT] b43: Get rid of spinlocks (version 2)

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

 



Hi,

This patchset removes all spinlocks (except the LEDs lock for now) from b43.
There are no known races or bugs added by this patchset.
Please test it a lot, so we can ensure there are no regressions.

It sometimes crashes for me in the lockdep code on module unload, but I'm not
really sure whether that is a b43 or lockdep bug.
Please test test test. :)

Apply the patchset in this order to wireless-testing.git:
