Subject: net: netprio: fix cgrp create and write priomap race
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=476ad154f3b41dd7d9a08a2f641e28388abc2fd1;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

net: netprio: fix cgrp create and write priomap race

A race exists where creating cgroups and also updating the priomap
may result in losing a priomap update. This is because priomap
writers are not protected by rtnl_lock.

Move priority writer into rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unlock().
