From 3644f0cee77494190452de132e82245107939284 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 15:08:17 -0800 Subject: [NET]: Convert hh_lock to seqlock. The hard header cache is in the main output path, so using seqlock instead of reader/writer lock should reduce overhead. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
