From cbdcfcd320e5847c8edde45848562aebb1f01f90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:37:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] neighbour: fix a race in neigh_destroy() [ Upstream commit c9ab4d85de222f3390c67aedc9c18a50e767531e ] There is a race in neighbour code, because neigh_destroy() uses skb_queue_purge(&neigh->arp_queue) without holding neighbour lock, while other parts of the code assume neighbour rwlock is what protects arp_queue Convert all skb_queue_purge() calls to the __skb_queue_purge() variant Use __skb_queue_head_init() instead of skb_queue_head_init() to make clear we do not use arp_queue.lock And hold neigh->lock in neigh_destroy() to close the race.
