Greetings All,
I am curious as it after reading the network code for a while it seems that to 
me
at least the rtnl mutex lock is a bottleneck. Is there any reason that we are 
still
using a global mutex for all routing changes in the networking stack for the 
Linux
kernel or does it actually scale only, seems to me that it is causing nothing 
but
problems with deadlocks related to it or issues with locking timeouts on 
separate
netdev routing tables for two different networks. Is this just me or does this 
lock
actually cause serious issues or can do so.
Regards,
Nick
