From d30fb712e52964f2cf9a9c14cf67078394044837 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haiyang Zhang haiyangz@microsoft.com Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2023 08:23:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hv_netvsc: fix race of netvsc and VF register_netdevice
The rtnl lock also needs to be held before rndis_filter_device_add() which advertises nvsp_2_vsc_capability / sriov bit, and triggers VF NIC offering and registering. If VF NIC finished register_netdev() earlier it may cause name based config failure.
To fix this issue, move the call to rtnl_lock() before rndis_filter_device_add(), so VF will be registered later than netvsc / synthetic NIC, and gets a name numbered (ethX) after netvsc.
