Subject: [PATCH] net dst: fix percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten
Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2010 10:11:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1288750265-17664-1-git-send-email-dfeng@redhat.com> (raw)
There're some percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten warnings
in recent kernel, which is resulted by fc66f95c.
commit fc66f95c switches to use percpu_counter, in ip6_route_net_init, kernel
init the percpu_counter for dst entries, but, the percpu_counter is never destroyed
in ip6_route_net_exit. So if the related data is freed by kernel, the freed percpu_counter
is still on the list, then if we insert/remove other percpu_counter, list corruption
resulted. Also, if the insert/remove option modifies the ->prev,->next pointer of
the freed value, the poison overwritten is resulted then.
With the following patch, the percpu_counter list corruption and poison overwritten
warnings disappeared.
