I'm applying this patch with some minor cleanups of my own.
I went and then checked around for atm_find_dev() users to make sure they held the atm_dev_lock, and I discovered several pieces of "hidden treasure".
Firstly, have a look at net/atm/common.c:atm_ioctl() and how it accesses userspace while holding atm_dev_lock. That is just the tip of the iceberg.
ATM sorely needs a maintainer. Any of the kernel janitors want to learn how ATM works? :-)))) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
