Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 04/13] net: move promiscuity handling into dev_rx_mode_work
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 18:24:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320012501.2033548-5-sdf@fomichev.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320012501.2033548-1-sdf@fomichev.me>

Move unicast promiscuity tracking into dev_rx_mode_work so it runs
under netdev_ops_lock instead of under the addr_lock spinlock. This
is required because __dev_set_promiscuity calls dev_change_rx_flags
and __dev_notify_flags, both of which may need to sleep.

Change ASSERT_RTNL() to netdev_ops_assert_locked() in
__dev_set_promiscuity, netif_set_allmulti and __dev_change_flags
since these are now called from the work queue under the ops lock.
