From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 19:17:44 +0000 (-0700) Subject: hv_netvsc: fix rtnl locking in callback X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8737caafd16790c654f1fb8564abcf6e1f3ffe19;p=linux-beck.git hv_netvsc: fix rtnl locking in callback The function get_netvsc_net_device had conditional locking. This was unnecessary, incorrect, but harmless. It was unnecessary since the code is only called from netlink netdev event callback where RTNL is always acquired before the callbacks are run. It was incorrect because of use of trylock and then continuing. Fix by replacing with proper assertion. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
