From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Denis Efremov Subject: [PATCH] bridge: rcu_deref outside read-lock section Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 02:47:42 +0400 Message-ID: <1344898062-23633-1-git-send-email-yefremov.denis@gmail.com> Cc: Denis Efremov , Patrick McHardy , netfilter-devel@vger.kernel.org, netfilter@vger.kernel.org, coreteam@netfilter.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, ldv-project@ispras.ru To: Pablo Neira Ayuso Return-path: Sender: netfilter-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netfilter-devel.vger.kernel.org As it noted in the comment before the br_handle_frame_finish function, this function should be called under rcu_read_lock. The problem callgraph: br_dev_xmit -> br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow -> -> br_handle_frame_finish -> br_port_get_rcu -> rcu_dereference And in this case there is no read-lock section. I have put lock/unlock in br_nf_pre_routing_finish_bridge_slow, as the only function that calls it(for now) - is br_dev_xmit. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
