Subject: [PATCH net v2] vxlan: Use RCU apis to access sk_user_data.
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:09:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380038979-24035-1-git-send-email-pshelar@nicira.com> (raw)
Use of RCU api makes vxlan code easier to understand. It also
fixes bug due to missing ACCESS_ONCE() on sk_user_data dereference.
In rare case without ACCESS_ONCE() compiler might omit vs on
sk_user_data dereference. Compiler can use vs as alias for
sk->sk_user_data, resulting in multiple sk_user_data dereference
in rcu read context which could change.
