From: Andrey Vagin Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 22:13:31 +0000 (-0700) Subject: ipv6: fix race between ipv6_del_addr and DAD timer X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26~25^2~12 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b2238566401f01eb796e75750213c7b0fce396b2;p=linux-2.6 ipv6: fix race between ipv6_del_addr and DAD timer Consider the following scenario: ipv6_del_addr(ifp) ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_DELADDR, ifp) ip6_del_rt(ifp->rt) after returning from the ipv6_ifa_notify and enabling BH-s back, but *before* calling the addrconf_del_timer the ifp->timer fires and: addrconf_dad_timer(ifp) addrconf_dad_completed(ifp) ipv6_ifa_notify(RTM_NEWADDR, ifp) ip6_ins_rt(ifp->rt) then return back to the ipv6_del_addr and: in6_ifa_put(ifp) inet6_ifa_finish_destroy(ifp) dst_release(&ifp->rt->u.dst) After this we have an ifp->rt inserted into fib6 lists, but queued for gc, which in turn can result in oopses in the fib6_run_gc. Maybe some other nasty things, but we caught only the oops in gc so far. The solution is to disarm the ifp->timer before flushing the rt from it.
