[PATCH 6.6 084/112] hv_netvsc: Fix race of register_netdevice_notifier and VF register

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

 



6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 85520856466ed6bc3b1ccb013cddac70ceb437db upstream.

If VF NIC is registered earlier, NETDEV_REGISTER event is replayed,
but NETDEV_POST_INIT is not.

Move register_netdevice_notifier() earlier, so the call back
function is set before probing.
