From 9b8adb5ea005fe73acd5dd58f9bd47eafa74c9d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 16:59:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix devinet_sysctl_forward sysctls are unregistered with the rntl_lock held making it unsafe to unconditionally grab the the rtnl_lock. Instead we need to call rtnl_trylock and restart the system call if we can not grab it. Otherwise we could deadlock at unregistration time. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.
