From 1c2d670f3660e9103fdcdca702f6dbf8ea7d6afb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:59:10 -0700 Subject: [RTNETLINK]: Hold rtnl_mutex during netlink dump callbacks Hold rtnl_mutex during the entire netlink dump operation. This allows to simplify locking in the dump callbacks, since they can now rely on that no concurrent changes happen. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
