From b3ccfbe4098a5542177d0f34e8979f32e7d606e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "sjur.brandeland@stericsson.com" Date: Fri, 13 May 2011 02:44:04 +0000 Subject: caif: Protected in-flight packets using dev or sock refcont. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CAIF Socket Layer and ip-interface registers reference counters in CAIF service layer. The functions sock_hold, sock_put and dev_hold, dev_put are used by CAIF Stack to protect from freeing memory while packets are in-flight. Signed-off-by: Sjur Brændeland Signed-off-by: David S.
