hv_netvsc: fix race of netvsc and VF register_netdevice
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit d30fb71 upstream.

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.
