From: Alexander Aring Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2014 03:18:39 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ieee802154: don't allow to change addr while netif_running X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f499f991c275d5251a427c424360a9c60f549e4;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git ieee802154: don't allow to change addr while netif_running This patch changes the actual behaviour for setting address attributes. We should not change addresses while netif_running is true. Furthermore when netif_running is running the address attributes becomes read only and we can remove locking mechanism in receive and transmit hothpaths of 802.15.4 subsystem.
