From 72c9528bab94cc052d00ce241b8e85f5d71e45f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 07:11:27 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: Introduce dev_get_by_name_rcu() Some workloads hit dev_base_lock rwlock pretty hard. We can use RCU lookups to avoid touching this rwlock (and avoid touching netdevice refcount) netdevices are already freed after a RCU grace period, so this patch adds no penalty at device dismantle time. However, it adds a synchronize_rcu() call in dev_change_name() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
