Hi Dave, hi Ingo,
patch below switches 802.2 and SNAP layer to use rwlock instead
of cli/sti. If you think that read_lock() has too much overhead
in this code path, I'm sorry, I have no better solution...
It also fixes race between two tasks doing register_*_client
at once - there was no locking here.
If you agree, tell me and I'll forward it to Linus. Or do so
yourself.
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
