Subject: Re: [PATCH] tipc: fix a lockdep warning
Hi Weidong,
I know you ever posted below patch into netdev mail list last month. And
at that moment I also told you we already had one better solution to fix
the issue. However, after our TIPC internal development team went
through a long and bitter dispute about that "better" solution, we
eventually made a consensus by proposing below approach to fix your met
issue:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.tipc.general/4926/
I think the patchset should be ready now.
Sorry for your inconvenience.
Regards,
Ying
