[PATCH 1/9] ipmi: use refcount in message handler

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

 



This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in
smaller chunks easily and I believe it is an important change.
This has been out and tested for a while in the latest IPMI
driver release.  There are no functional changes, just changes
as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few minor style
updates).

The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things
exist while they are in use.  This is bad from a number of
points of view.  This patch removes the rwlocks and uses
refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.
