[PATCH net 2/2] virtio_net: fix missing lock protection on control_buf access

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




> Refactored the handling of control_buf to be within the cvq_lock critical
> section, mitigating race conditions between reading device responses and
> new command submissions.
> 
> Fixes: 6f45ab3e0409 ("virtio_net: Add a lock for the command VQ.")
