Subject: [71/82] tcp: Fix race in tcp_poll
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:56:32 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101119215644.581554967@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101119215658.GA7804@kroah.com

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Tom Marshall <tdm.code@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit a4d258036ed9b2a1811c3670c6099203a0f284a0 ]

If a RST comes in immediately after checking sk->sk_err, tcp_poll will
return POLLIN but not POLLOUT.  Fix this by checking sk->sk_err at the end
of tcp_poll.  Additionally, ensure the correct order of operations on SMP
machines with memory barriers.
