Subject: [PATCH] inetpeer: fix a race in inetpeer_gc_worker()
Date: Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:28:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1338888507.2760.2146.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit 5faa5df1fa2024 (inetpeer: Invalidate the inetpeer tree along with
the routing cache) added a race :

Before freeing an inetpeer, we must respect a RCU grace period, and make
sure no user will attempt to increase refcnt.
