Necessity of rtnl_lock when making changes on networking interface
by yannistrf from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6P4VS)
Hello, I have a somewhat silly question but I was wondering why do we need to serialize the operations concerning changes to a specific interface ? https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6....v_ioctl.c#L764
Couldn't we perform changes to two different interfaces at the same time without a problem ?
This question was born because I am facing a similar issue like the one described here: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ge-4175725384/
