From d9a5f210c5ef338295cf1c29d98825722351bed7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shreyas Bhatewara Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 07:02:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net-next: vmxnet3 fixes [4/5] Do not reset when the device is not opened Hold rtnl_lock to get the right link state. While asynchronously resetting the device, hold rtnl_lock to get the right value from netif_running. If a reset is scheduled, and the device goes thru close and open, it may happen that reset and open may run in parallel. Holding rtnl_lock will avoid this.
