From 03dc2f4c525afb9488edb687c2e1f7057d59b40e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jay Vosburgh Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:14:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: don't lock when copying/clearing VLAN list on slave When copying VLAN information to or removing from a slave during slave addition or removal, the bonding code currently holds the bond->lock for write to prevent concurrent modification of the vlan_list / vlgrp. This is unnecessary, as all of these operations occur under RTNL. Holding the bond->lock also caused might_sleep issues for some drivers' ndo_vlan_* functions. This patch removes the extra locking.
