Subject: [PATCH 0/4] dev_open() and dev_close() require RTNL
Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 19:26:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080506182654.GF2217@solarflare.com> (raw)
dev_open() and dev_close() clearly require the RTNL, but this isn't
commented or asserted. The following series adds assertions and fixes
three drivers that call dev_close() without holding the RTNL. The
driver changes are only compile-tested.
Ben.
