From 1769192a3c50778e03352a3d95faec830d47ba55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 18:22:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] l2tp: fix potential rcu race While trying to remove useless synchronize_rcu() calls, I found l2tp is indeed incorrectly using two of such calls, but also bumps tunnel refcount after list insertion. tunnel refcount must be incremented before being made publically visible by rcu readers. This fix can be applied to 2.6.35+ and might need a backport for older kernels, since things were shuffled in commit fd558d186df2c (l2tp: Split pppol2tp patch into separate l2tp and ppp parts) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Paul E.
