Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/14] net: ethtool: make sure __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() is ops-locked
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 16:16:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260528231637.251822-3-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260528231637.251822-1-kuba@kernel.org>

__ethtool_get_link_ksettings() is exported and called from sysfs
and many drivers. Looks like commit 2bcf4772e45a ("net: ethtool:
try to protect all callback with netdev instance lock")
missed adding the lock around it. Not treating this as a fix because
I don't think any driver cares at this point, but if we want to
remove the rtnl_lock protection this will become critical.
