Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: release idev lock before calling ipv6_ifa_notify()
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 09:34:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453970092-10605-1-git-send-email-gregory.herrero@intel.com> (raw)

ipv6_ifa_notify() may need to acquire idev->lock, for example
when calling __ipv6_dev_ac_inc() from addrconf_join_anycast()
in __ipv6_ifa_notify().
So caller must release idev->lock before calling ipv6_ifa_notify() to
avoid a deadlock.
Fix a checkpatch warning present in the same area to make checkpatch
happy.
