Subject: net: emphasize rtnl lock required in call_netdevice_notifiers
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab9304717f7624c41927f442e6b6d418b2d8b3e4;p=linux-beck.git

net: emphasize rtnl lock required in call_netdevice_notifiers

Since netdev_chain is guarded by rtnl_lock, ASSERT_RTNL should be
present here to make sure that all callers of call_netdevice_notifiers
does the locking properly.
