[PATCH nft 0/2] netfilter: nf_tables: Use rcu lock to enhance protection of the lists

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

 



nf_tables_expressions and nf_tables_objects lists can be concurrent
between type lookup and module unloading process. But there is not
any protection in type lookup process. Therefore, there is pertential
data-race of the lists entry.

Use rcu lock to enhance protection of the lists.

  netfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_expr_type_get()
  netfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_obj_type_get()
