From d3092b2efca1cd1d492d0b08499a2066c5ca8cec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tung Nguyen Date: Fri, 12 Oct 2018 22:46:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix unsafe rcu locking when accessing publication list The binding table's 'cluster_scope' list is rcu protected to handle races between threads changing the list and those traversing the list at the same moment. We have now found that the function named_distribute() uses the regular list_for_each() macro to traverse the said list. Likewise, the function tipc_named_withdraw() is removing items from the same list using the regular list_del() call. When these two functions execute in parallel we see occasional crashes. This commit fixes this by adding the missing _rcu() suffixes. Signed-off-by: Tung Nguyen Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy Signed-off-by: David S.
