Subject: [net PATCH v3 3/3] net: netprio: fix cgrp create and write priomap race
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:34:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120814223435.3551.62387.stgit@jf-dev1-dcblab> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120814223424.3551.21608.stgit@jf-dev1-dcblab>

A race exists where creating cgroups and also updating the priomap
may result in losing a priomap update. This is because priomap
writers are not protected by rtnl_lock.

Move priority writer into rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unlock().
