Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] macvtap: read vnet_hdr_size once
Date: Fri,  3 Feb 2017 18:20:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170203232049.38982-3-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170203232049.38982-1-willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com>

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com>

When IFF_VNET_HDR is enabled, a virtio_net header must precede data.
Data length is verified to be greater than or equal to expected header
length tun->vnet_hdr_sz before copying.

Macvtap functions read the value once, but unless READ_ONCE is used,
the compiler may ignore this and read multiple times. Enforce a single
read and locally cached value to avoid updates between test and use.
