From 4dee959723e2bf3a0f9343a46841cd2f0029d424 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:44:52 -0700 Subject: [NETFILTER]: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix race between clusterip_config_find_get and _entry_put Consider we are putting a clusterip_config entry with the "entries" count == 1, and on the other CPU there's a clusterip_config_find_get in progress: CPU1: CPU2: clusterip_config_entry_put: clusterip_config_find_get: if (atomic_dec_and_test(&c->entries)) { /* true */ read_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock); c = __clusterip_config_find(clusterip); /* found - it's still in list */ ... atomic_inc(&c->entries); read_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock); write_lock_bh(&clusterip_lock); list_del(&c->list); write_unlock_bh(&clusterip_lock); ... dev_put(c->dev); Oops! We have an entry returned by the clusterip_config_find_get, which is a) not in list b) has a stale dev pointer. The problems will happen when the CPU2 will release the entry - it will remove it from the list for the 2nd time, thus spoiling it, and will put a stale dev pointer. The fix is to make atomic_dec_and_test under the clusterip_lock.
