Subject: [PATCH][IPVS] Fix sched registration race when checking for name collision
Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:10:57 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4753D631.8040005@openvz.org> (raw)
The register_ip_vs_scheduler() checks for the scheduler with the
same name under the read-locked __ip_vs_sched_lock, then drops,
takes it for writing and puts the scheduler in list.
This is racy, since we can have a race window between the lock
being re-locked for writing.
The fix is to search the scheduler with the given name right under
the write-locked __ip_vs_sched_lock.
