Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] net: hold instance lock around NETDEV_DOWN and NETDEV_GOING_DOWN
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 11:21:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630182129.1601784-1-sdf@fomichev.me> (raw)
NETDEV_UP and NETDEV_REGISTER already run under the per-device
instance lock. The teardown side does not. Make it symmetric so
ops-locked drivers can rely on the lock being held in both
directions.
Stanislav Fomichev (6):
net: hold instance lock around NETDEV_DOWN/GOING_DOWN
net: dsa: hold instance lock on close-on-shutdown paths
net: mtk_eth_soc: hold instance lock around DMA-device-swap close
net: rtnetlink: take instance lock inside rtnl_configure_link
net: require instance lock for NETDEV_DOWN/GOING_DOWN notifiers
net: document NETDEV_UNREGISTER unlocked rationale
