Good catch! But I think we need a bit more to close this fully. Dumps can resume asynchronously which means that they won't be holding inet_diag_mutex. We can fix that pretty easily by giving that as our cb_mutex. So could you add that to your patch and resubmit? Arnaldo, synchronize_rcu() doesn't work on its own. Whoever accesses the object that it's supposed to protect has to use the correct RCU primitives for this to work. Synchronisation is like tango, it always takes two to make it work :) Thanks, -- Visit Openswan at http://www.openswan.org/ Email: Herbert Xu ~{PmV>HI~} <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home Page: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/ PGP Key: http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/pubkey.txt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
