Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6: blackhole_netdev needs snmp6 counters
Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2022 18:10:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220214021056.389298-1-eric.dumazet@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com>
Whenever rt6_uncached_list_flush_dev() swaps rt->rt6_idev
to the blackhole device, parts of IPv6 stack might still need
to increment one SNMP counter.
Root cause, patch from Ido, changelog from Eric :)
This bug suggests that we need to audit rt->rt6_idev usages
and make sure they are properly using RCU protection.
Fixes: e5f80fcf869a ("ipv6: give an IPv6 dev to blackhole_netdev")
