Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/ocrdma: Don't sleep in atomic notifier handler
Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2012 07:40:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1335591601-26473-1-git-send-email-levinsasha928@gmail.com> (raw)

Events sent to ocrdma_inet6addr_event() are sent from an atomic context, therefore
we can't try to lock a mutex within the notifier callback.

We could just switch the mutex to a spinlock since all it does it protect a list,
but I've went ahead and switched the list to use RCU instead. I couldn't fully test
it since I don't have IB hardware, so if it doesn't fully work for some reason let
me know and I'll switch it back to using a spinlock.
