Subject: [PATCH] net/netvsc: Fix on race condition of multiple commands
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2025 17:22:38 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251212115238.59710-1-madhukar.mythri@gmail.com> (raw)
When multiple processes issue command requests(like: device info get
and link-status) at same-time, then we could see the command request
failures, due to race-condition of common function execution.
So, to avoid such race-condition introduced a new spin-lock to protect
the code of critical section.
Fixes: 4e9c73e96e83 ("net/netvsc: add Hyper-V network device")
