Subject: [PATCH net 5/6] ipv6: reset value and position for proxy_ndp sysctl restart
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:22:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618162225.4588-6-fmancera@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618162225.4588-1-fmancera@suse.de>
When handling proxy_ndp, if rtnl_net_trylock() fails, the operation is
retried but as the value was already modified by the initial
proc_dointvec() call, the restarted syscall will read the newly modified
value as the 'old' state.
Fix this by restoring the original value and position pointer before
restarting the syscall.
Fixes: c92d5491a6d9 ("netconf: add support for IPv6 proxy_ndp")
Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>
