Subject: [PATCH][XFRM] Fix potential race vs xfrm_state(only)_find and xfrm_hash_resize.
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 13:56:14 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47610FCE.2000100@openvz.org> (raw)
The _find calls calculate the hash value using the
xfrm_state_hmask, without the xfrm_state_lock. But the
value of this mask can change in the _resize call under
the state_lock, so we risk to fail in finding the desired
entry in hash.
I think, that the hash value is better to calculate
under the state lock.
