> All genl callbacks are serialized by genl-mutex. This can become > bottleneck in multi threaded case. > Following patch adds an parameter to genl_family so that a > particular family can get concurrent netlink callback without > genl_lock held. > New rw-sem is used to protect genl callback from genl family unregister. > in case of parallel_ops genl-family read-lock is taken for callbacks and > write lock is taken for register or unregistration for any family. > In case of locked genl family semaphore and gel-mutex is locked for > any openration. > > Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshe...@nicira.com> Applied. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
