[PATCH 3.16 359/370] macvtap: read vnet_hdr_size once

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

 



3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 837585a5375c38d40361cfe64e6fd11e1addb936 ]

When IFF_VNET_HDR is enabled, a virtio_net header must precede data.
Data length is verified to be greater than or equal to expected header
length tun->vnet_hdr_sz before copying.

Macvtap functions read the value once, but unless READ_ONCE is used,
the compiler may ignore this and read multiple times. Enforce a single
read and locally cached value to avoid updates between test and use.

[bwh: BAckported to 3.16:
 - Use ACCESS_ONCE() instead of READ_ONCE()
 - Adjust context]
