From bcab1ddd9b2b105390712a9c1605bdb20a7f9a03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Tkhai Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2018 12:26:33 +0300 Subject: net: Move mutex_unlock() in cleanup_net() up net_sem protects from pernet_list changing, while ops_free_list() makes simple kfree(), and it can't race with other pernet_operations callbacks. So we may release net_mutex earlier then it was. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai Acked-by: Andrei Vagin Signed-off-by: David S.
