> tipc_named_node_up() creates a skb list. It passes the list to > tipc_node_xmit() which has some code paths that can call > skb_queue_purge() which relies on the list->lock being initialised. > > The spin_lock is only needed if the messages end up on the receive path > but when the list is created in tipc_named_node_up() we don't > necessarily know if it is going to end up there. > > Once all the skb list users are updated in tipc it will then be possible > to update them to use the unlocked variants of the skb list functions > and initialise the lock when we know the message will follow the receive > path. > > Signed-off-by: Chris Packham <chris.pack...@alliedtelesis.co.nz> Applied. _______________________________________________ tipc-discussion mailing list tipc-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tipc-discussion
