[ewg] [PATCH] IB/ipoib: Use rtnl lock/unlock when changing device flags

Eli Cohen eli at mellanox.co.il
Thu Jul 3 01:52:10 PDT 2008


Use of this lock is required to synchronize changes to the netdvice's
data structs. Also moved the call to ipoib_flush_paths() after the
modification of the netdevice flags.
