From 224e923cd9b001c612b7b68933264156271722f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 14:25:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net_sched: hold tcf_lock in netdevice notifier We modify mirred action (m->tcfm_dev) in netdev event, we need to prevent on-going mirred actions from reading freed m->tcfm_dev. So we need to acquire this spin lock. Cc: Jamal Hadi Salim Cc: "David S. Miller" Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
