From 978813ee89674fdb6bb6585153166b7603173cd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Paul Maloy Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:31:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: replace reference table rwlock with spinlock The lock for protecting the reference table is declared as an RWLOCK, although it is only used in write mode, never in read mode. We redefine it to become a spinlock. Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Reviewed-by: Ying Xue Reviewed-by: Erik Hugne Signed-off-by: David S.
