> [NET]: Fix possible dev_deactivate race condition > > The function dev_deactivate is supposed to only return when > all outstanding transmissions have completed. Unfortunately > it is possible for store operations in the driver's transmit > function to only become visible after dev_deactivate returns. > > This patch fixes this by taking the queue lock after we see > the end of the queue run. This ensures that all effects of > any previous transmit calls are visible. > > If however we detect that there is another queue run occuring, > then we'll warn about it because this should never happen as > we have pointed dev->qdisc to noop_qdisc within the same queue > lock earlier in the functino. > > Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Applied, thanks Herbert! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
