From 6755aebaaf9fc5416acfd4578ab7a1e122ecbc74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 00:23:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] can: should not use __dev_get_by_index() without locks bcm_proc_getifname() is called with RTNL and dev_base_lock not held. It calls __dev_get_by_index() without locks, and this is illegal (might crash) Close the race by holding dev_base_lock and copying dev->name in the protected section.
