From ccf434380d1a67df2dcb9113206b77d0cb0a1cef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:08:02 +0000 Subject: net: fix dev_seq_next() Commit c6d14c84566d (net: Introduce for_each_netdev_rcu() iterator) added a race in dev_seq_next(). The rcu_dereference() call should be done _before_ testing the end of list, or we might return a wrong net_device if a concurrent thread changes net_device list under us. Note : discovered thanks to a sparse warning : net/core/dev.c:3919:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Paul E.
