Subject: tipc: make media_ptr pointed netdevice valid
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f1c8d8cb82113ea6f41d2774127d3d08a4ca8d46;p=linux-beck.git

tipc: make media_ptr pointed netdevice valid

The 'media_ptr' pointer in bearer structure which points to network
device, is protected by RCU. So, before netdevice is released,
synchronize_net() should be involved to prevent no any user of
the netdevice on read side from accessing it after it is freed.
