Actually, I'm glad you asked that question because I was wondering that myself. The devices are added to the list at boot time, and after that time, the list will never change. Does PCI enumeration happen on all processors? I thought maybe it only happened on one. In that case we don't need a lock I don't think. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
