3.16.67-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit caa415270c732505240bb60171c44a7838c555e8 upstream. nh_exceptions is effectively used under rcu, but lacks proper barriers. Between kzalloc() and setting of nh->nh_exceptions(), we need a proper memory barrier. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 4895c771c7f00 ("ipv4: Add FIB nexthop exceptions.")
