Subject: [PATCH] Fix race in tcp_poll
Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2010 12:18:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100920185719.GA13355@gmail.com> (raw)
If a RST comes in immediately after checking sk->sk_err, tcp_poll will
return POLLIN but not POLLOUT. Fix this by checking sk->sk_err at the end
of tcp_poll. Additionally, ensure the correct order of operations on SMP
machines with memory barriers.
