net: devnet_rename_seq should be a seqcount
Using a seqlock for devnet_rename_seq is not a good idea, as device_rename() can sleep. As we hold RTNL, we dont need a protection for writers, and only need a seqcount so that readers can catch a change done by a writer. Bug added in commit c91f6df2db4972d3 (sockopt: Change getsockopt() of SO_BINDTODEVICE to return an interface name) Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
