Subject: [PATCH 6/7] net: Fix ipoib rtnl_lock sysfs deadlock.
Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 20:01:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m163g4qteo.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m13ab8s8cr.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Wed\, 13 May 2009 19\:53\:40 -0700")
Network device sysfs files that grab the rtnl_lock unconditionally
will deadlock if accessed when the network device is being
unregistered. So use trylock and syscall_restart to avoid this
deadlock.
