Subject: [PATCH net] net: qualcomm: rmnet: Fix incorrect assignment of real_dev
Date: Fri,  9 Nov 2018 18:56:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1541814987-28403-1-git-send-email-subashab@codeaurora.org> (raw)

A null dereference was observed when a sysctl was being set
from userspace and rmnet was stuck trying to complete some actions
in the NETDEV_REGISTER callback. This is because the real_dev is set
only after the device registration handler completes.

sysctl call stack -
