From 29578624e354f56143d92510fff33a8b2aaa2c03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olaf Kirch Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 19:32:02 -0700 Subject: [NET]: Fix races in net_rx_action vs netpoll. Keep netpoll/poll_napi from messing with the poll_list. Only net_rx_action is allowed to manipulate the list. Signed-off-by: Olaf Kirch Signed-off-by: David S.
