From 283f2fe87e980d8af5ad8aa63751e7e3258ee05a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:37:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: speedup netdev_set_master() We currently force a synchronize_net() in netdev_set_master() This seems necessary only when a slave had a master and we dismantle it. In the other case ("ifenslave bond0 ethO"), we dont need this long delay. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
