Subject: [net  1/1] tipc: fix unsafe rcu locking when accessing publication list
Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2018 22:46:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1539377215-29145-1-git-send-email-jon.maloy@ericsson.com> (raw)

From: Tung Nguyen <tung.q.nguyen@dektech.com.au>

The binding table's 'cluster_scope' list is rcu protected to handle
races between threads changing the list and those traversing the list at
the same moment. We have now found that the function named_distribute()
uses the regular list_for_each() macro to traverse the said list.
Likewise, the function tipc_named_withdraw() is removing items from the
same list using the regular list_del() call. When these two functions
execute in parallel we see occasional crashes.

This commit fixes this by adding the missing _rcu() suffixes.
