4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Roman Gushchin <guro@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3960f4fd6585608e8cc285d9665821985494e147 ] The progs local variable in compute_effective_progs() is marked as __rcu, which is not correct. This is a local pointer, which is initialized by bpf_prog_array_alloc(), which also now returns a generic non-rcu pointer. The real rcu-protected pointer is *array (array is a pointer to an RCU-protected pointer), so the assignment should be performed using rcu_assign_pointer().
