Subject: [PATCH net-next 12/14] net: ethtool: ioctl: concentrate the locking
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 16:16:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528231637.251822-13-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260528231637.251822-1-kuba@kernel.org>

Add another layer of helper functions to make upcoming locking
changes easier. Otherwise we'd need a pretty complex goto
structure. netdev instance lock is now taken slightly sooner
but that should not be an issue since rtnl_lock is already held,
anyway.
