This patchset adds some new hooks to generic netlink and then goes on to use them to really optimise a lot of locking code in nl80211. It not only shrinks the code in nl80211 by almost 5K .text, but also greatly reduces the likelihood of future errors. I'd prefer to merge this through John's wireless tree, so it'd be nice to get ACKs. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
