From 3885ca785a3618593226687ced84f3f336dc3860 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Horman Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:11:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drop_monitor: Make updating data->skb smp safe Eric Dumazet pointed out to me that the drop_monitor protocol has some holes in its smp protections. Specifically, its possible to replace data->skb while its being written. This patch corrects that by making data->skb an rcu protected variable. That will prevent it from being overwritten while a tracepoint is modifying it. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Reported-by: Eric Dumazet CC: David Miller Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
