net: pktgen: remove rcu locking in pktgen_change_name()
After Jesper commit back in linux-3.18, we trigger a lockdep splat in proc_create_data() while allocating memory from pktgen_change_name(). This patch converts t->if_lock to a mutex, since it is now only used from control path, and adds proper locking to pktgen_change_name() 1) pktgen_thread_lock to protect the outer loop (iterating threads) 2) t->if_lock to protect the inner loop (iterating devices) Note that before Jesper patch, pktgen_change_name() was lacking proper protection, but lockdep was not able to detect the problem. Fixes: 8788370a1d4b ("pktgen: RCU-ify "if_list" to remove lock in next_to_run()") Reported-by: John Sperbeck <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
