From 4d79002e962466d455ae4933cd404cf5a1164894 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Sell Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:00:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] staging: unisys: visornic - ensure proper net locking in tx reset logic visornic tx reset handling is done asynchronously via a workqueue in visornic_timeout_reset(). As a result, it needs to use rtnl_lock() / rtnl_unlock() to lock against possible simultaneous close() of the network device. (I consulted the bnx2 driver as a model here, as that driver also does its tx reset handling asynchronously, just like visornic does. See bnx2_tx_timeout() and bnx2_reset_task().)
