4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 35a57b7fef136fa3d5b735ba773f191b95110fa0 ] The rx_mode operation handler is different than other callbacks in that is not always called with rtnl held. Therefore use RCU to ensure that references are valid. Fixes: bee9d41b37ea ("hv_netvsc: propagate rx filters to VF") Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
