From 0719e72ccb801829a3d735d187ca8417f0930459 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:16:32 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] netvsc: add rcu_read locking to netvsc callback The receive callback (in tasklet context) is using RCU to get reference to associated VF network device but this is not safe. RCU read lock needs to be held. Found by running with full lockdep debugging enabled.
