Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] i40e: acquire VSI pointer only after VF is initialized
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2020 14:12:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201130131257.28856-1-sassmann@kpanic.de> (raw)

This change simplifies the VF initialization check and also minimizes
the delay between acquiring the VSI pointer and using it. As known by
the commit being fixed, there is a risk of the VSI pointer getting
changed. Therefore minimize the delay between getting and using the
pointer.

Fixes: 9889707b06ac ("i40e: Fix crash caused by stress setting of VF MAC addresses")
Signed-off-by: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@kpanic.de>
