Subject: [PATCH] bridge: fix rcu dereference outside of rcu_read_lock
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 08:19:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120814081933.30f3e868@nehalam.linuxnetplumber.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1344931732-1858-1-git-send-email-yefremov.denis@gmail.com>

Alternative solution for problem found by Linux Driver Verification
project (linuxtesting.org).

As it noted in the comment before the br_handle_frame_finish
function, this function should be called under rcu_read_lock.

The problem callgraph:
br_dev_xmit -> br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow ->
 -> br_handle_frame_finish -> br_port_get_rcu -> rcu_dereference

And in this case there is no read-lock section.
