Miller Date: Tue Jul 15 00:13:44 2008 -0700 netdev: Add netdev->addr_list_lock protection. Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers. Use them to protect operations that operate on or read the network device unicast and multicast address lists. Also use them in cases where the code simply wants to block calls into the driver's ->set_rx_mode() and ->set_multicast_list() methods. Signed-off-by: David S.
