Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 10/12] net: ethtool: ioctl: concentrate the locking
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 17:29:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260605002912.3456868-11-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260605002912.3456868-1-kuba@kernel.org>
Add another layer of helper functions to make upcoming locking
changes easier. Otherwise we'd need a pretty complex goto
structure. netdev instance lock is now taken slightly sooner
but that should not be an issue since rtnl_lock is already held,
anyway.
