[PATCH] RDMA/core: Fix race when resolving IP address

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

 



Use neighbour lock when copying MAC address from neighbour data struct
in dst_fetch_ha.

When not using the lock, it is possible for the function to race with
neigh_update, causing it to copy an invalid MAC address.

It is possible to provoke this error by calling rdma_resolve_addr in a
tight loop, while deleting the corresponding ARP entry in another tight
loop.
