From 99f34b38cdc8f75a4b9adb5a617b118253b3efe1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:26:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] macvtap: Close a race between macvtap_open and macvtap_dellink. There is a small window in macvtap_open between looking up a networking device and calling macvtap_set_queue in which macvtap_del_queues called from macvtap_dellink. After calling macvtap_del_queues it is totally incorrect to allow macvtap_set_queue to proceed so prevent success by reporting that all of the available queues are in use. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
