From f607a158004d75c9005423ce1ba70dc6ec3dd9c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 17:46:56 -0400 Subject: garp: remove last synchronize_rcu() call When removing last vlan from a device, garp_uninit_applicant() calls synchronize_rcu() to make sure no user can still manipulate struct garp_applicant before we free it. Use call_rcu() instead, as a step to further net_device dismantle optimizations. Add the temporary garp_cleanup_module() function to make sure no pending call_rcu() are left at module unload time [ this will be removed when kfree_rcu() is available ] Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
