From fbd4c7e768f1719bea340e40148800279d230922 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 15:53:47 -0700 Subject: netvsc: fix rcu dereference warning from ethtool The ethtool info command calls the netvsc get_sset_count with RTNL but not with RCU. Which causes warning: drivers/net/hyperv/netvsc_drv.c:1010 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
