[PATCH 5.15 07/32] alx: acquire mutex for alx_reinit in alx_change_mtu

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

 



From: Niels Dossche <dossche.niels@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 46b348fd2d81a341b15fb3f3f986204b038f5c42 ]

alx_reinit has a lockdep assertion that the alx->mtx mutex must be held.
alx_reinit is called from two places: alx_reset and alx_change_mtu.
alx_reset does acquire alx->mtx before calling alx_reinit.
alx_change_mtu does not acquire this mutex, nor do its callers or any
path towards alx_change_mtu.
Acquire the mutex in alx_change_mtu.

The issue was introduced when the fine-grained locking was introduced
to the code to replace the RTNL. The same commit also introduced the
lockdep assertion.

Fixes: 4a5fe57e7751 ("alx: use fine-grained locking instead of RTNL")
