Message-ID: <1284046423.2589.188.camel@edumazet-laptop> Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:33:43 +0200 From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com> To: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: netdev <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] tunnels: missing rcu_assign_pointer() xfrm4_tunnel_register() & xfrm6_tunnel_register() should use rcu_assign_pointer() to make sure previous writes (to handler->next) are committed to memory before chain insertion. deregister functions dont need a particular barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com> --- No risk of crash, because handler->next is NULL before register() call, but a possibility of packet being dropped. net/ipv4/tunnel4.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/tunnel6.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/tunnel4.c b/net/ipv4/tunnel4.c index df59d16..9a17bd2 100644 --- a/net/ipv4/tunnel4.c +++ b/net/ipv4/tunnel4.c @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ int xfrm4_tunnel_register(struct xfrm_tunnel *handler, unsigned short family) } handler->next = *pprev; - *pprev = handler; + rcu_assign_pointer(*pprev, handler); ret = 0; diff --git a/net/ipv6/tunnel6.c b/net/ipv6/tunnel6.c index 3177fe0..d986472 100644 --- a/net/ipv6/tunnel6.c +++ b/net/ipv6/tunnel6.c @@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ int xfrm6_tunnel_register(struct xfrm6_tunnel *handler, unsigned short family) } handler->next = *pprev; - *pprev = handler; + rcu_assign_pointer(*pprev, handler); ret = 0; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
