Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: Fix another, potential broadcast+ogm purging race condition
Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 10:58:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361959096-30522-2-git-send-email-linus.luessing@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1361959096-30522-1-git-send-email-linus.luessing@web.de>

We need to perform the addition of to be forwarded packets into our ogm
and broadcast queues and starting of the forward packet timer in one
atomic step. Otherwise we might potentially get a segmentation fault
when trying to start the timer of a forw_packet because the queue
purging routines might have freed the forw_packet already within the
short opportunity between the queue list addition and the
queue_delayed_work() call.
