Subject: net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27~6^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b6c40d68ff6498b7f63ddf97cf0aa818d748dee7;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP

Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> reported a bug when setting a VLAN
device down that is in promiscous mode:

When the VLAN device is set down, the promiscous count on the real
device is decremented by one by vlan_dev_stop(). When removing the
promiscous flag from the VLAN device afterwards, the promiscous
count on the real device is decremented a second time by the
vlan_change_rx_flags() callback.

The root cause for this is that the ->change_rx_flags() callback is
invoked while the device is down. The synchronization is meant to mirror
the behaviour of the ->set_rx_mode callbacks, meaning the ->open function
is responsible for doing a full sync on open, the ->close() function is
responsible for doing full cleanup on ->stop() and ->change_rx_flags()
is meant to do incremental changes while the device is UP.

Only invoke ->change_rx_flags() while the device is UP to provide the
intended behaviour.
