So the ordering should be: - get the lock - set xso.real_dev to real_dev - release the lock - call xdo_dev_state_add - if it fails, reacquire the lock and set the device to NULL. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to protect against the scenario below, as after dropping the spinlock from bond_ipsec_add_sa_all, bond_ipsec_del_sa can freely call xdo_dev_state_delete() on real_dev before xdo_dev_state_add happens. I don't know what to do in this case... > > > > bond_ipsec_add_sa_all() > > spin_unlock(&ipsec->x->lock); > > ipsec->xs->xso.real_dev = real_dev; > > __xfrm_state_delete x->state = DEAD > > - bond_ipsec_del_sa() > > - .xdo_dev_state_delete() > > .xdo_dev_state_add() Cosmin.
