Message-Id: <1286973334-4339-1-git-send-email-nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 08:35:29 -0400 From: nhorman@...driver.com To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: bonding-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net, fubar@...ibm.com, davem@...emloft.net, andy@...yhouse.net, amwang@...hat.com, nhorman@...driver.com Subject: [PATCH] bonding: various fixes for bonding, netpoll & netconsole (v2) Version 2, taking teh following changes into account: 1) Moved tx blocking/checking macros to netpoll.h as suggested by amwang 2) Added tx blocking macro calls to sysfs paths, as they can deadlock in the same way that the link monitoring paths can. Summary: A while ago we tried to enable netpoll on the bonding driver to enable netconsole. That worked well in a steady state, but deadlocked frequently in failover conditions due to some recursive lock-taking (as well as a few other problems). I've gone through the driver, netconsole and netpoll code, fixed up those deadlocks, and confirmed that, with this patch series, we can use netconsole on bonding without deadlock in all bonding modes with all slaves, even accross failovers. I've also fixed up some incidental bugs that I ran across while looking through this code, as described in individual patches Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@...driver.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
