4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Michael Chan <michael.chan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f5992b72ebe0dde488fa8f706b887194020c66fc ] The driver's ndo_get_stats64() method is not always called under RTNL. So it can race with driver close or ethtool reconfigurations. Fix the race condition by taking tp->lock spinlock in tg3_free_consistent() when freeing the tp->hw_stats memory block. tg3_get_stats64() is already taking tp->lock.
