Hi,all I am using the ixgbe nic. I found that the rtnl_lock is being used to enable upper device, such as macvlan. I am curious why rcu_read_lock is not used here.
I replaced rtnl_lock with rcu_read_lock here. Then I made tests and it can work well. So can the rtnl_lock be replaced with rcu_read_lock? Anyone can explain it in details? Any reply is appreciated.
