Subject: [PATCH 2/7] net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in sysfs methods.
Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 19:57:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1skj8qtm2.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m13ab8s8cr.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Wed\, 13 May 2009 19\:53\:40 -0700")
The earlier patch to fix the deadlock between a network device going
away and writing to sysfs attributes was incomplete.
- It did not set signal_pending so we would leak ERSTARTSYS to user space.
- It used ERESTARTSYS which only restarts if sigaction configures it to.
- It did not cover store and show for ifalias.
So fix all of these up and use the new helper restart_syscall so we get
the details correct on what it takes.
