Subject: tun: Fix minor race in TUNSETLINK ioctl handling.
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=48abfe05cd01279afe27159e98d7c7f932598f42;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

tun: Fix minor race in TUNSETLINK ioctl handling.

Noticed by Alan Cox.

The IFF_UP test is a bit racey, because other entities
outside of this driver's ioctl handler can modify that
state, even though this ioctl handler runs under
lock_kernel().
