From 10e4ea75149d11883a9e04c3b32ee1d7600d481e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Herbert Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2015 09:39:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix race condition in store_rps_map There is a race condition in store_rps_map that allows jump label count in rps_needed to go below zero. This can happen when concurrently attempting to set and a clear map. Scenario: 1. rps_needed count is zero 2. New map is assigned by setting thread, but rps_needed count _not_ yet incremented (rps_needed count still zero) 2. Map is cleared by second thread, old_map set to that just assigned 3. Second thread performs static_key_slow_dec, rps_needed count now goes negative Fix is to increment or decrement rps_needed under the spinlock. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S.
