Subject: tun: Make tun_net_xmit atomic wrt tun_attach && tun_detach
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.30-rc1~662^2~918
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=38231b7a8d1b74c920822640d1ce8eb8046377fb;p=profile%2Fivi%2Fkernel-x86-ivi.git

tun: Make tun_net_xmit atomic wrt tun_attach && tun_detach

Currently this small race allows for a packet to be received when we
detach from an tun device and still be enqueued.  Not especially
important but not what the code is trying to do.
