From 25ef42f3084df7b7511f1a9f72678a95d444f579 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Gromm Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:18:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] staging: most: fix race condition in AIM networking If the network device is being opened right after it has been registered via function register_netdev(), the device state is not yet consistent in the context of function ndo_open(). This patch cares about having the initialization done right, before the networking device is registered.
