From b1042d356305cd183459dea145fd59c0f7491e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2017 15:03:20 -0800 Subject: netlink: convert netlink tap spinlock to mutex Both netlink_add_tap() and netlink_remove_tap() are called in process context, no need to bother spinlock. Note, in fact, currently we always hold RTNL when calling these two functions, so we don't need any other lock at all, but keeping this lock doesn't harm anything.
