From fb745e9a037895321781d066aa24757ceabf9df9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ward Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:47:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net/802/mrp: fix possible race condition when calling mrp_pdu_queue() (Adapted from a very similar change to net/802/garp.c by Cong Wang.) mrp_pdu_queue() should ways be called with the applicant spin lock. mrp_uninit_applicant() only holds the rtnl lock which is not enough; a race is possible because mrp_rcv() is called in BH context: mrp_rcv() |->mrp_pdu_parse_msg() |->mrp_pdu_parse_vecattr() |->mrp_pdu_parse_vecattr_event() |-> mrp_attr_event() |-> mrp_pdu_append_vecattr_event() |-> mrp_pdu_queue() Cc: Cong Wang Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David Ward Acked-by: Cong Wang Signed-off-by: David S.
