The first three patches cleanup the use of curr_slave_lock and prepare it for the conversion which is done in patch 4 and then the modes that were using their own locks are converted to use the new "mode_lock" giving us the opportunity to remove their locks. This patch-set has been tested in each mode by running enslave/release of slaves in parallel with traffic transmission and miimon=1 i.e. running all the time. In fact this lead to the discovery of a subtle bug related to RCU which will be fixed in -net. Also did an allmodconfig test just in case :-) v2: fix bond_3ad_state_machine_handler's use of mode_lock and curr_slave_lock ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
