[PATCH v6 net-next 1/5] net: mscc: ocelot: fix mutex lock error during ethtool stats read

From: Colin Foster
Date: Wed Feb 09 2022 - 23:15:54 EST


An ongoing workqueue populates the stats buffer. At the same time, a user
might query the statistics. While writing to the buffer is mutex-locked,
reading from the buffer wasn't. This could lead to buggy reads by ethtool.
