From 38231b7a8d1b74c920822640d1ce8eb8046377fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:02:28 +0000 Subject: tun: Make tun_net_xmit atomic wrt tun_attach && tun_detach Currently this small race allows for a packet to be received when we detach from an tun device and still be enqueued. Not especially important but not what the code is trying to do. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.
