From 50c0ada627f56c92f5953a8bf9158b045ad026a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2022 15:29:49 +0800 Subject: virtio-net: fix race between ndo_open() and virtio_device_ready() We currently call virtio_device_ready() after netdev registration. Since ndo_open() can be called immediately after register_netdev, this means there exists a race between ndo_open() and virtio_device_ready(): the driver may start to use the device before DRIVER_OK which violates the spec. Fix this by switching to use register_netdevice() and protect the virtio_device_ready() with rtnl_lock() to make sure ndo_open() can only be called after virtio_device_ready().
