Subject: [PATCH] bridge: Don't put partly initialized fdb into hash
Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:58:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D4C2210.8010705@parallels.com> (raw)
The fdb_create() puts a new fdb into hash with only addr set. This is
not good, since there are callers, that search the hash w/o the lock
and access all the other its fields.
Applies to current netdev tree.
