This fixes a warning of "suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage" when nload runs. Fixes: 776e726bfb34 ("netvsc: fix RCU warning in get_stats") Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui <decui@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: Made the minimal required change. Added a Fixes tag. Removed Stephen H.'s Signed-off-by since this is somewhat different from the v1 from him; if there is any bug in v2, it's all my fault. :-) drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c b/drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c index f9209594624b..b6357a75712c 100644 --- a/drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c +++ b/drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c @@ -1240,12 +1240,15 @@ static void netvsc_get_stats64(struct net_device *net, struct rtnl_link_stats64 *t) { struct net_device_context *ndev_ctx = netdev_priv(net); - struct netvsc_device *nvdev = rcu_dereference_rtnl(ndev_ctx->nvdev); + struct netvsc_device *nvdev; struct netvsc_vf_pcpu_stats vf_tot; int i; + rcu_read_lock(); + + nvdev = rcu_dereference(ndev_ctx->nvdev); if (!nvdev) - return; + goto out; netdev_stats_to_stats64(t, &net->stats); @@ -1284,6 +1287,8 @@ static void netvsc_get_stats64(struct net_device *net, t->rx_packets += packets; t->multicast += multicast; } +out: + rcu_read_unlock(); } static int netvsc_set_mac_addr(struct net_device *ndev, void *p) -- 2.19.1
