 of hdev object


Oops, sorry for the delay here. I just forgot to check the mails.

This comment is right, when I submit this patch I mentioned that the replacement of this lock can hang the detaching routine because it needs to wait the release of the lock_sock().

But this does no harm in my testing. In fact, the relevant code can only be executed when removing the controller. I think it can wait for the lock. Moreover, this patch can fix the potential UAF indeed.

Welcome the additional advise on this. Does this really broken the lock principle?
