[PATCH net v3 3/4] octeon_ep_vf: fix race conditions in ndo_get_stats64
Posted by Shinas Rasheed 1 year ago
ndo_get_stats64() can race with ndo_stop(), which frees input and
output queue resources. Call synchornize_net() in ndo_stop()
to avoid such races.

V3:
  - No changes

V2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241216075842.2394606-4-srasheed@marvell.com/
  - Changed sync mechanism to fix race conditions from using an atomic
    set_bit ops to a much simpler synchronize_net()

synchronize_net() here..
