Subject: [BRIDGE]: Fix fdb RCU race
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 19:29:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4602CAF5.609@trash.net> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 94 bytes --]
Fix what looks like a RCU race. Untested since this is only
used by ATM, which I don't have.

[BRIDGE]: Fix fdb RCU race
br_fdb_get use atomic_inc to increase the refcount of an element found
on a RCU protected list, which can lead to the following race:
CPU0 CPU1
br_fdb_get: rcu_read_lock
__br_fdb_get: find element
fdb_delete: hlist_del_rcu
br_fdb_put
br_fdb_put: atomic_dec_and_test
call_rcu(fdb_rcu_free) br_fdb_get: atomic_inc
rcu_read_unlock
fdb_rcu_free: kmem_cache_free
Use atomic_inc_not_zero instead.
