4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ebc701b796a67a5785399dcbc83d90e3b5f1e02f ] When attempting to change the driver parameters, such as the MTU value or number of queues, do not call netdev_notify_peers(). Doing so will deadlock on the rtnl_lock. Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
