| |
3.16.44-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Feras Daoud <ferasda@mellanox.com>
commit 89a3987ab7a923c047c6dec008e60ad6f41fac22 upstream.
The ipoib_vlan_add function calls rtnl_unlock after free_netdev, rtnl_unlock not only releases the lock, but also calls netdev_run_todo. The latter function browses the net_todo_list array and completes the unregistration of all its net_device instances. If we call free_netdev before rtnl_unlock, then netdev_run_todo call over the freed device causes panic. To fix, move rtnl_unlock call before free_netdev call.
