[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.16 25/27] sfc: extend the locking on mcdi->seqno

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2022-03-09 16:26:12
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: networking drivers, sfc network driver, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Edward Cree, Linus Torvalds

From: Niels Dossche <redacted>

[ Upstream commit f1fb205efb0ccca55626fd4ef38570dd16b44719 ]

seqno could be read as a stale value outside of the lock. The lock is
already acquired to protect the modification of seqno against a possible
race condition. Place the reading of this value also inside this locking
to protect it against a possible race condition.
