Subject: [PATCH net-next 19/28] tipc: Fix unsafe device list search when enabling bearer
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2011 23:32:15 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1316316744-29514-20-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1316316744-29514-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

From: Allan Stephens <allan.stephens@windriver.com>

Ensures that the device list lock is held while trying to locate
the Ethernet device used by a newly enabled bearer, so that the
addition or removal of a device does not cause problems.
