Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] net: phy: fix locking issue
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2019 20:10:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2a39271d-3b9e-e425-98b4-b2a24074e806@gmail.com> (raw)
Russell pointed out that the locking used in phy_is_started() isn't
needed and misleading. This locking also contributes to a race fixed
with patch 2.
Heiner Kallweit (2):
net: phy: don't use locking in phy_is_started
net: phy: fix potential race in the phylib state machine
