From ab9304717f7624c41927f442e6b6d418b2d8b3e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Tue, 20 Apr 2010 01:45:37 -0700 Subject: net: emphasize rtnl lock required in call_netdevice_notifiers Since netdev_chain is guarded by rtnl_lock, ASSERT_RTNL should be present here to make sure that all callers of call_netdevice_notifiers does the locking properly.
