Subject: [PATCH (resubmit)][BRIDGE] Properly dereference the br_should_route_hook
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:21:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <474C43F4.5080704@openvz.org> (raw)
This hook is protected with the RCU, so simple
if (br_should_route_hook)
br_should_route_hook(...)
is not enough on some architectures.
Use the rcu_dereference/rcu_assign_pointer in this case.
Fixed Stephen's comment concerning using the typeof().
