From e5f6f564fd191d365fcd775c06a732a488205588 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 06:31:52 -0800 Subject: bnxt: add a missing rcu synchronization Add a missing synchronize_net() call to avoid potential use after free, since we explicitly call napi_hash_del() to factorize the RCU grace period.
