Subject: [PATCH] netiucv: Hold rtnl between name allocation and device registration.
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 09:09:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371128987-3723-1-git-send-email-bpoirier@suse.de> (raw)

fixes a race condition between concurrent initializations of netiucv devices
that try to use the same name.

sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/iucv/netiucv2'
[...]
