Subject: [PATCH] IPv6: fix race between cleanup and add/delete address
Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 10:19:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100303101959.481d76fe@nehalam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100303101449.2ae6a4ca@nehalam>
This solves a potential race problem during the cleanup process.
The issue is that addrconf_ifdown() needs to traverse address list,
but then drop lock to call the notifier. The version in -next
could get confused if add/delete happened during this window.
Original code (2.6.32 and earlier) was okay because all addresses
were always deleted.
