There is a path when an assetion in dev_unicast_sync() appears. igmp6_group_added -> dev_mc_add -> __dev_set_rx_mode -> -> vlan_dev_set_rx_mode -> dev_unicast_sync Therefore we cannot protect this list with rtnl. This patch restores the original protecting this list with spinlock.
Thank you, it works for me! Tested-by: Meelis Roos <redacted> -- Meelis Roos (mroos@linux.ee)
