From c53934c6d1b11c676dafed04294cd906fc9ff5d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Brandeburg Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2016 10:33:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] i40e: fix: do not sleep in netdev_ops The driver was being called by VLAN, bonding, teaming operations that expected to be able to hold locks like rcu_read_lock(). This causes the driver to be held to the requirement to not sleep, and was found by the kernel debug options for checking sleep inside critical section, and the locking validator.
