Subject: Re: [PATCH][2.5] convert atm_dev_lock from spinlock to semaphore
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 02:53:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030219025347.D22992@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> (raw)
you seem to be under the impression that <linux/sem.h> has something
to do with linux semaphores. this is not the case; they're sysv semaphores.
apart from this, i think it's a pretty bad idea to just replace the
spinlocks with semaphores. atm really needs fixing properly.
