[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] net/ipv6: Correct PIM6 mrt_lock handling

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

 



From: Richard Laing <richard.laing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 25b4a44c19c83d98e8c0807a7ede07c1f28eab8b ]

In the IPv6 multicast routing code the mrt_lock was not being released
correctly in the MFC iterator, as a result adding or deleting a MIF would
cause a hang because the mrt_lock could not be acquired.

This fix is a copy of the code for the IPv4 case and ensures that the lock
is released correctly.
