Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: Fix general protection fault in batadv_tt_global_del_orig()
Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2013 05:44:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1363495498-17830-2-git-send-email-linus.luessing@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1363495498-17830-1-git-send-email-linus.luessing@web.de>

On shutdown a race condition where we access a just freed global TT hash
might occure. batadv_orig_node_free_rcu() callbacks might have been
scheduled (especially during the shutdown procedure) and unfortunately
batadv_tt_global_table_free() does not wait for them to finish first
before freeing the global TT hash.

This potentially results in a general protection fault in
batadv_tt_global_del_orig(), called via a batadv_orig_node_free_rcu()
callback, which tries to access the just freed global TT hash.

This patch tries to fix this by waiting for any just scheduled
batadv_orig_node_free_rcu() to finish via an extra rcu_barrier() call
before freeing the global TT hash. And by moving the TT freeing call to
the end of the batman cleanup routines.
