From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx>
This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
[ Upstream commit 468479e6043c84f5a65299cc07cb08a22a28c2b1 ]
PACKET_FANOUT_LB computes f->rr_cur such that it is modulo
f->num_members. It returns the old value unconditionally, but
f->num_members may have changed since the last store. Ensure
that the return value is always < num.
When modifying the logic, simplify it further by replacing the loop
with an unconditional atomic increment.
Fixes: dc99f600698d ("packet: Add fanout support.")
