From 86b1309c7e411b7c25dc0dc7a092582a4d291044 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pravin B Shelar Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:14:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] genetlink: Add lockdep_genl_is_held(). Open vSwitch uses genl_mutex locking to protect datapath data-structures like flow-table, flow-actions. Following patch adds lockdep_genl_is_held() which is used for rcu annotation to prove locking.
