[PATCH] bridge: Don't put partly initialized fdb into hash

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The fdb_create() puts a new fdb into hash with only addr set. This is
not good, since there are callers, that search the hash w/o the lock
and access all the other its fields.

Applies to current netdev tree.
