Subject: [PATCH 6.18 43/60] net: net_failover: Fix the deadlock in slave register
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 14:03:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625125651.973051627@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625125645.554579168@linuxfoundation.org>

6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Faicker Mo <faicker.mo@gmail.com>

commit b84c5632c7b31f8910167075a8128cfb9e50fcfe upstream.

There is netdev_lock_ops() before the NETDEV_REGISTER notifier
in register_netdevice(), so use the non-locking functions
in net_failover_slave_register().
failover_slave_register() in failover_existing_slave_register() adds lock
and unlock ops too.
