[PATCH 42/72] Fixed race condition at ip_vs.ko module init.

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

 



From: Eduardo Blanco <ejblanco@xxxxxxxxxx>

Lists were initialized after the module was registered.  Multiple ipvsadm
processes at module load triggered a race condition that resulted in a null
pointer dereference in do_ip_vs_get_ctl(). As a result, __ip_vs_mutex
was left locked preventing all further ipvsadm commands.
