This patch series removes the pib/mib lock inside the mac802154 subsystem. The new locking mechanism will use the rtnl lock to ensure that other operations like ifdown/ifup can't happend while setting pib/mib values. Note: the new locking strategy depends on context, on most mib values while interface up the mib attributes are readonly, this will allow us less complexity and locking stuff while frame parsing. I tried my best to change the old netlink interface according to that, but I believe there is no real locking "strategy" in the old netlink calls and it's hard to understand how it works. - Alex Alexander Aring (3): mac802154: fix hold rtnl while ioctl mac802154: remove pib lock mac802154: remove mib lock include/net/cfg802154.h | 2 -- include/net/ieee802154_netdev.h | 10 ------- net/ieee802154/6lowpan/core.c | 28 ------------------ net/ieee802154/6lowpan/tx.c | 2 +- net/ieee802154/core.c | 2 -- net/ieee802154/nl-mac.c | 14 ++++++--- net/ieee802154/nl-phy.c | 6 ++-- net/ieee802154/socket.c | 12 ++++---- net/mac802154/ieee802154_i.h | 9 ------ net/mac802154/iface.c | 25 +++++----------- net/mac802154/mac_cmd.c | 10 +++---- net/mac802154/mib.c | 63 ++--------------------------------------- net/mac802154/rx.c | 5 ---- 13 files changed, 32 insertions(+), 156 deletions(-) -- 2.3.7 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
