From 2aed2827dfc2e7d2e385fc1580529a8fc7f33d47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:23:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETNS]: The ip6_fib_timer can work with garbage on net namespace stop. The del_timer() function doesn't guarantee, that the timer callback is not active by the time it exits. Thus, the fib6_net_exit() may kfree() all the data, that is required by the fib6_run_gc(). The race window is tiny, but slab poisoning can trigger this bug. Using del_timer_sync() will cure this. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S.
