From 2d9073922bc73f8cb847ce354f0896205f6981a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2006 15:56:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [ATM]: Clip timer race. By inspection, the clip idle timer code is racy on SMP. Here is a safe version of timer management. Untested, I don't have ATM hardware. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
