From fe5c3561e6f0ac7c9546209f01351113c1b77ec8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Sat, 13 Jul 2013 10:18:18 -0700 Subject: vxlan: add necessary locking on device removal The socket management is now done in workqueue (outside of RTNL) and protected by vn->sock_lock. There were two possible bugs, first the vxlan device was removed from the VNI hash table per socket without holding lock. And there was a race when device is created and the workqueue could run after deletion. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
