From 29c7cf96186ac14ce7380633f690fc39732ff03a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sridhar Samudrala Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 16:26:26 -0800 Subject: [SCTP]: Handle address add/delete events in a more efficient way. Currently in SCTP, we maintain a local address list by rebuilding the whole list from the device list whenever we get a address add/delete event. This patch fixes it by only adding/deleting the address for which we receive the event. Also removed the sctp_local_addr_lock() which is no longer needed as we now use list_for_each_safe() to traverse this list. This fixes the bugs in sctp_copy_laddrs_xxx() routines where we do copy_to_user() while holding this lock. Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala Signed-off-by: David S.
