linux.git/net/dsa/conduit.c, branch v6.18.19 Clone of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header 2025-03-08T17:06:50+00:00 Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org 2025-03-07T18:30:06+00:00 8ef890df4031121a94407c84659125cbccd3fdbe Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching the header with the helpers). The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

net: ethtool: try to protect all callback with netdev instance lock 2025-03-06T20:59:44+00:00 Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org 2025-03-05T16:37:28+00:00 2bcf4772e45adb00649a4e9cbff14b08a144f9e3 Protect all ethtool callbacks and PHY related state with the netdev instance lock, for drivers which want / need to have their ops instance-locked. Basically take the lock everywhere we take rtnl_lock. It was tempting to take the lock in ethnl_ops_begin(), but turns out we actually nest those calls (when generating notifications).
