From f1fb205efb0ccca55626fd4ef38570dd16b44719 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Niels Dossche Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2022 23:28:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sfc: extend the locking on mcdi->seqno seqno could be read as a stale value outside of the lock. The lock is already acquired to protect the modification of seqno against a possible race condition. Place the reading of this value also inside this locking to protect it against a possible race condition. Signed-off-by: Niels Dossche Acked-by: Martin Habets Signed-off-by: David S.
