[PATCH net-next 1/3] ipv4: initialize ip4_frags hash secret as late as possible

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

 



Defer the generation of the first hash secret for the ipv4 fragmentation
cache as late as possible.

ip4_frags.rnd gets initial seeded by inet_frags_init and regulary
reseeded by inet_frag_secret_rebuild. Either we call ipqhashfn directly
from ip_fragment.c in which case we initialize the secret directly.

If we first get called by inet_frag_secret_rebuild we install a new secret
by a manual call to get_random_bytes. This secret will be overwritten
as soon as the first call to ipqhashfn happens. This is safe because we
won't race while publishing the new secrets with anyone else.
