Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] net: Potential null skb->dev dereference
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:19:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268954378.2894.201.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)

When doing "ifenslave -d bond0 eth0", there is chance to get NULL
dereference in netif_receive_skb(), because dev->master suddenly becomes
NULL after we tested it.

We should use ACCESS_ONCE() to avoid this (or rcu_dereference())
