Subject: [BRIDGE]: Fix fdb RCU race
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 19:29:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4602CAF5.609@trash.net> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 94 bytes --]

Fix what looks like a RCU race. Untested since this is only
used by ATM, which I don't have.

[BRIDGE]: Fix fdb RCU race

br_fdb_get use atomic_inc to increase the refcount of an element found
on a RCU protected list, which can lead to the following race:

CPU0					CPU1

					br_fdb_get:   rcu_read_lock
					__br_fdb_get: find element
fdb_delete:   hlist_del_rcu
	      br_fdb_put
br_fdb_put:   atomic_dec_and_test
	      call_rcu(fdb_rcu_free)	br_fdb_get:   atomic_inc
						      rcu_read_unlock
fdb_rcu_free: kmem_cache_free

Use atomic_inc_not_zero instead.
