From 441ac0fcaadc76ad09771812382345001dd2b813 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Yasevich Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 16:04:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] macvtap: Convert to using rtnl lock Macvtap uses a private lock to protect the relationship between macvtap_queue and macvlan_dev. The private lock is not needed since the relationship is managed by user via open(), release(), and dellink() calls. dellink() already happens under rtnl, so we can safely convert open() and release(), and use it in ioctl() as well.
