[PATCH] s390: set online race in the lcs driver
[patch 3/10] s390: set online race in the lcs driver.
From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com>
There is a race between lcs_stopcard() and lcs_open_device() which
can lead to the error 'lcs: Error in starting channel, rc=-16'.
lcs_open_device() is invoked when 'ifconfig up' is called due to a
hotplug event, which is caused by register_netdev(). In parallel
lcs_stopcard() is executed. Both functions are sending lcs commands.
The second invocation fails with -EBUSY (-16) as return value.
Move invocation of register_netdev() after invocation of lcs_stopcard
to avoid the race.
