Subject: [PATCH (resubmit)][BRIDGE] Properly dereference the br_should_route_hook
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:21:08 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <474C43F4.5080704@openvz.org> (raw)

This hook is protected with the RCU, so simple

	if (br_should_route_hook)
		br_should_route_hook(...)

is not enough on some architectures.

Use the rcu_dereference/rcu_assign_pointer in this case.

Fixed Stephen's comment concerning using the typeof().
