From 6ca4f65e6b390d09e1de7280cf9fd4f5d8e4b48b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Moyer Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 22:04:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETPOLL]: Set poll_owner to -1 before unlocking in netpoll_poll_unlock() This trivial patch moves the assignment of poll_owner to -1 inside of the lock. This fixes a potential SMP race in the code. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer Signed-off-by: David S.
