Subject: [PATCH -net v2 0/2] net: netpoll and netconsole fixes
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 15:02:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1379595756-3527-1-git-send-email-nikolay@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi,
This small patchset fixes a possible race condition in netpoll_cleanup
which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference because the check and
manipulation of np->dev are done outside of the rtnl lock (patch 01).
The second patch fixes a deadlock in netconsole and does a trivial comment
style fix.
v2: fix the function style in patch 01
Best regards,
Nikolay Aleksandrov
