Subject: [PATCH 2/2][IPV6] addrconf: fix addrconf_del_timer locking etc.
Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 13:37:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070705113742.GC1569@ff.dom.local> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070705111246.GB1569@ff.dom.local>

addrconf_del_timer() is sometimes done without a lock.
IMHO it could be racy e.g. when between del_timer() and
__in6_ifa_put() some other in6_ifa_put() is done.

addrconf_dad_kick() also runs unlocked in one place. 

BTW, I changed a bit one printk to be more precise, I hope.

PS: this patch was prepared on 2.6.22-rc7 with my neighbouring
PATCH 1/2, but they could be applied independently too.
