From cf8190e4c26c8ccf87d80793f8f1f7fe150cdf8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haiyang Zhang Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 12:19:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hv_netvsc: Fix race condition on Multi-Send Data field In commit 2a04ae8acb14 ("hv_netvsc: remove locking in netvsc_send()"), the locking for MSD (Multi-Send Data) field was removed. This could cause a race condition between RNDIS control messages and data packets processing, because these two types of traffic are not synchronized. This patch fixes this issue by sending control messages out directly without reading MSD field. Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang Reviewed-by: K. Y. Srinivasan Signed-off-by: David S.
