Subject: [PATCH][NEIGH]: Fix race between neighbor lookup and table's hash_rnd update.
Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:37:03 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47BE97BF.6020600@openvz.org> (raw)

The neigh_hash_grow() may update the tbl->hash_rnd value, which 
is used in all tbl->hash callbacks to calculate the hashval.

Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the 
->hash callback without the tbl->lock held. Since the hash_rnd
is changed with this lock write-locked moving the calls to ->hash
under this lock read-locked closes this gap.
