[PATCH] bridge:Fix concurrent access issue in the function brnf_get_logical_dev

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

 



This fixes a concurrent access issue in the function brnf_get_logical_dev
by properly locking with the function rcu_read_lock before calling the
function vlan_find_dev_deep_rcu and unlocking after this function call
as all callers of this function are required to do this in order to
improve issues with concurrent access by other threads executing
on this data structures simultaneously.
