From ba3f571d5dde27fc4ae83aabe2c06ff08087af49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Cong Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 10:04:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: get rid of ip_ra_lock After commit 1215e51edad1 ("ipv4: fix a deadlock in ip_ra_control") we always take RTNL lock for ip_ra_control() which is the only place we update the list ip_ra_chain, so the ip_ra_lock is no longer needed. As Eric points out, BH does not need to disable either, RCU readers don't care. Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
