Subject: [PATCH 02/12] IPv6: addrconf timer race
Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:32:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100302234002.971992509@vyatta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20100302233243.259794027@vyatta.com
[-- Attachment #1: addrconf-rstimer.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1949 bytes --]
The Router Solicitation timer races with device state changes
because it doesn't lock the device. Use local variable to avoid
one repeated dereference.
