From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Subject: [PATCH 1/5] 8021q: Vlan driver should use rcu_barrier() on unload instead of syncronize_net() Date: Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:11:28 +0200 Message-ID: <20090608131128.10052.30759.stgit@localhost> References: <20090608130959.10052.54590.stgit@localhost> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer , "Paul E.

This is needed to make sure that outstanding call_rcu() callbacks have completed, before the callback function code is removed on module unload.
