From: Kefeng Wang Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 08:26:21 +0000 (+0800) Subject: ipv6: addrconf: Avoid addrconf_disable_change() using RCU read-side lock X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=03e4deff4987f79c34112c5ba4eb195d4f9382b0;p=linux-beck.git ipv6: addrconf: Avoid addrconf_disable_change() using RCU read-side lock Just like commit 4acd4945cd1e ("ipv6: addrconf: Avoid calling netdevice notifiers with RCU read-side lock"), it is unnecessary to make addrconf_disable_change() use RCU iteration over the netdev list, since it already holds the RTNL lock, or we may meet Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section.
